Re: Segfault after upgrade.

Yo Paul!

I just added your "apt purge gpsd" to INSTALL.adoc.  It might save the
few that RTFM some grief.

Could I get you to clean that up a tad and make it a patch to INSTALL.adoc?

And mention /etc/defaults/gpsd? 

This may help those suffering the indignity of systemd(ubious).

Also what is the easiest way to get gpsd to run in -n mode with
systemd(umbesst)?
