Just spotted in alt.os.linux.slackware

I am new to configuring the scripts that come with slackware
and have to
use netconfig to set up my network card everytime I want to
use samba,
while in mt rc.d directory I noticed I had these

rc.6.new
rc.M.new
rc.S.new
rc.alsa.new
rc.inet1.new
rc.inet2.new

I've been using swaret to upgrade my packages so they could
have come from
there. new does not mean they were always new, is it safe
just to make the
others *.old and move these into there place.

I doubt it's him....he'd know the correct "there" to use in that last
sentence is "their" Smile

Apart from which, I seem to remember him saying he's a complete technophobe
at one point.
