+As usual, lots of detail if you already understand it, but it seems to
+rely on you knowing URLs.  I thought I could simply copy the URL from
+this system, adapting the version if it looked necessary, but if I
+look at Edit on the add-media page of MCC it just says $MIRRORLIST -
+and "echo $MIRRORLIST" doesn't tell me anything at all.
+
+There's obviously a real problem with the Intel drivers being removed
+by accident during the update.  For everyone's sake, I'd like to try
+to identify the problem, but I feel as though I'm banging my head
+against a brick wall.
