   If you select '1', you will generally get the difference between the   
   current version and the version portage wanted to install, then you have   
   different options, keep the old one, use the new one or make a   
   interactive update (this option is quite difficult). Check the   
   difference, make up your mind what to do with the hostname file and then   
   repeat this with those files you have done changes on, files you never   
   have done any changes, leave those to last and run a -5.
