Otherwise, it does a "generic" compile that would run on any CPU. The two easiest ways to improve system performance are to build a custom kernel that has all the uneeded options and devices removed and to tweak make.conf. Before doing either, read man tuning and man make.conf. Also, to find out what all the stuff in the kernel conf does, see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES (assuming you're running 5.x on an Intel or Intel-compatible platform. hth, stheg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
