Dumb question, but what is the elegant way to use apt-get to manage Branden's 4.2 packages of X86free? As far as I can tell, 4.2 is not available on woody or sid yet and I don't want to totally screw up my system by failing to install 4.2 right by hand. Moreover, if 4.2 doesn't fix my problem or it isn't stable, I want an easy way to get back to where I started.
