I don't asume ftp.cdrom.com to do the same that your system is supossed to. Usually tuning is something you need to do depending on your needs. At least you should drop a note containing your current configuration and your current problems so people can make advises. In general I don't expect that you need to change much. Tuning VM parameters will of course bring you instability if you don't know for shure what they do. In real world it's mostly never needed. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
