If you use command line, make sure you do it for both buildworld and installworld). (this will still build /usr/sbin/sendmail, since that's mailwrapper. If you're not using mailwrapper, learn how to use it, and use it.) > 2. Is there any way to specify an alternative package to a current one > (eg exim for sendmail)? No. > 3.

Is there any way to build with optimisations for a PIII? like -O6 > or --march-i686 ? make CFLAGS="-O6 -march=i686" buildworld (or put it in /etc/make.conf) (By the way, don't build with anything but -O, or you may get unexpected optimization bugs. If you value reliability, use -O.) Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner nbm@mithrandr.moria.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
