Well, I did send David a private message on how he could get to my Mac-mini. He hasn't tried it yet (but then I only told him about two days ago, and I imagine he has one of those things called a "real life", that I hear people talk so much about...). Due to some kind of problem with my most recent build for that system, the machine is running with a 1-day old "installworld", but a kernel from at least a few days earlier than that. The more recent kernel seems mighty prone to panic'ing. I'll leave my mini-mac up for David to use this weekend, assuming he has the time to poke around. I have no idea if my Mac-mini would be faster than your G4. It's 1.42-GHz, but with a somewhat slow disk and 256meg of RAM. I might try hooking up an external firewire disk to it this weekend, and see if that would improve its speed. For reference purposes, right now this Mac-mini takes about 98 minutes to do a buildworld, and 15 minutes to do a buildkernel. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
