Making Configuration Updates
Before making major configuration changes, if you already have a working
configuration, you may want to either make a restore point, or at least save your current
configuration, so that you can go back to it if necessary. It should be noted that most of
the configuration panels have an ‘Update’ or ‘Submit’ button on them. These are used to
save the changes that you make on that panel. Changing values on a panel, then closing
the panel (by selecting the X in the upper right corner of the window or by pressing the
Return button, without pressing the Update button first, will not save your changes, and
any modifications will be lost. Normally you will get a message to remind you to save
your changes if changes have been made, when you attempt to leave the panel.
