One of the suggected options in make.conf is -O, for optimizations.  I
noticed in the man pages that -O3 is a higher level of optimization.  Is it
dangerous to recompile world/kernel if maximum optimizations.

Also, sysinstalls auto configure for harddrives is to slice the drive into
a swap, /usr, /, and /var.  Whynot just create a / and a swap?  Wouldn't
that make life simplier when harddrive space is low?

Thanks.

Michael
