freebsd-udapte upgrade.

[Peter Ankerstål]

Could someone please explain how to use freebsd-update upgrade without 
destroying all of your configuration files?

I really don’t understand how to use the merge function.. In this case i 
typed :q for all files it asked about. :wq seem to
do about the same thing. Notice that a few of the files has this shit in 
multiple places. I can’t be right that I should edit every file manually 
and look for “current version” and so on?
