'make world' question, too To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 09:30:41 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 1. Looked through the hardware list and didn't see any mention of dual processors (I don't think I saw them, but I'm not a hardware guy.) This system has dual 133 MHz's on 2.1.0 and as far as I know it only uses one of the processors. When I upgrade on Friday to 2.1.7 is there anything I can do to take advantage of the other processor? 2. Any idea how long "make world" will take with a 133 Mhz and 64 MB of RAM? (4GB SCSI disk). Is there any part of the compile I can do in advance to speed up the process? I want to cut down on the time I have the users locked out. 3. Also, I 'supped' the stuff over on February 22 -- has anything changed since then? Should I 're-sup' the night before the upgrade?
