Files in /etc/pcmcia like config, network, etc are installed read-only and are generally not intended to be modified by the user. If you reinstall, and the new versions differ from what is already installed, the old files are renamed to *.O before the new versions are installed. The *.opts files are never overwritten if they already exist. The scripts in /etc/init.d will generally not be overwritten because some distributions use startup scripts that are not directly compatible with the startup script included in the PCMCIA package. > This can lead to some very confusing problems.

What things do you need to change after doing a reinstall? I do "make install" dozens of times per day and never need to touch permissions or edit files. -- Dave

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
