Nothing jumps out at me from reading your email. You need to get in
the habit of making backup copies of your config files whenever you
start making changes, so you always have the option to go back to a
known good configuration.

We discussed a few options for this in another thread: from cp to tar
to revision control systems. See if you can find it in the archives,
if you did not read it the first time. Searching for "alain" and "rcs"
may do the trick. It was a fairly recent thread, either this month or
late last month.
