So far so good. My question is about the sources and the manual is not very clear about : what happens after the cvsup job? Do i have to recompile something to switch to the new system or is it automatic? Can I backtrack in case of trouble? I'm running 4.3 (release) right now, i'd prefer not having to reinstall it :-) Will cvsup allow me to switch to the upcoming 4.4?
