*GREAT* point I felt should see another go to help highlight for
fellow users who haven't discovered dot d (.d) directories yet. Just
made the connection myself couple weeks ago via /etc/grub.d.
Our dot d directories are a place where necessary personalizations
remain static for programs that reset configurations on a regular
basis. On another thread, someone mentioned they create a backup, if
not an entirely separate place, for their own /etc directory because
of its importance to them. Excellent place to focus a piece of
self-training on with respect to preserving the kinds of tweaks such
as is being discussed here..
PS Apologies in advance if this shows up twice. Had a dialup glitch
JUST as it was sending but not seeing it posted yet.
