One system is being done now, to allow time to catch any major problems and then plan the update process. Looking at src/UPDATING, the only thing I don't understand is the whole drm-kmod change. Is there an authoritative write-up on what's going on, how to choose the right drivers for my hardware, and how to do this from source without forcing a fresh install? Respectrfully, Robert Huff
