Joe:

Thanks for info.

And no worries about not keeping a record of any changes ... I always 
save originals and modified (with documentation if appropriate) as I 
don't trust my memory. Especially with an evolving opSys like Fedora 
where I not only have to keep track of my changes but track Fedora's to 
avoid "future feature conflict"
