May I please second Nathan's suggestion? How about a concrete example or
2 - using DKMS, strings, scripts - whatever it takes to put this nVidia
driver to bed? It'd be really nice to have a new kernel update ready to
fly once up2date has finished it's task. I've read the DKMS papers.
Seems like a really slick solution. I'd like a little more tutorial /
examples before venturing off on my own. Frankly, I'm surprised by all
the response I've gotten. Thanks all.
