Hi,
Quite easy, just edit "/etc/etc-update.conf" before running "etc-update".
Change "diff-command=diff -uN %file1 %file2" and "using_editor=0". Later
could run it in text-mode.
Or use "dispatch-conf, it makes a backup of the updated files in
/etc/config-archive. Check the diffs afterwards.
When X starts again restore your settings.
HTH. Rumen
