G'day folks... I can confirm that the -j option does cause the 'installworld' portion of a 'make world' to faul in 4.0-STABLE. I have run my 'buildworld' with -j without problems however, using -j8 and -j10. I'm not sure if this option serves much purpose in the installworld portion, so maybe it can be recommended that it be used only with 'buildworld'? Regards, Bryan On Tue, 30 May 2000, Mike C.
