slight revision - if you got it before 5:15 CDT, redownload it. There were some hiccups.

And you will need to do ". ./bindgps" to create the symlink if you have a BT gps (". ./relgps" reverses it - but might not remove the symlink, though it won't work since it won't point to anything).

The system seems to freeze (in the kernel?) when opening a bluetooth rfcomm device. Probably doing the association and handshakes, but they should really let other tasks run. I expect to file a bug report on this, but if you have /dev/gps and bluetooth is off but you haven't done relgps, it might stop for about 5 seconds every 10 as it tries to search for it. Do the relgps or turn on the BT.
