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.
