No, nothing you put into make.conf will affect already installed software. This file is for setting build-time options, and as such will only affect subsequent software builds. And yes, rebuilding and reinstalling a package you already have qualifies as a "subsequent build". As for valid CPUTYPE values, have you checked out the manpage? man make.conf I'm pretty sure I've seen it in there somewhere. Hope this helps! -Henrik W Lund
