I have an amd k6II 500 machine with 32 megs of ram, 20 gig 7200 rpm hard drive which i just installed fresh with FBSD 5.3RC1 on the whole disk, no boot loader. I cvsuped the sources yesterday around 5 pm CDT and then started a make buildworld. It is now 7:15 pm CDT the following day and it is still grinding away... Can it really take this long? The hard drive is grinding i can see from the hdd led but top reports that the box isn't under that heavy of a load.. I saw a thread back in January about how long this process should take (buildworld) and immediately they started talking about kernel options....i thought the kernel wouldn't matter here because that doesn't get built unless you make kernel..but i guess they meant the debugging features that are currently turned on in the kernel. Even so..this seems REALLY long as i saw some earlier posts where people were saying that on earlier versions of FBSD with lessor machines they were finishing in 3-4 hours. I'm _very_ new to this process...and wow..this is painful...i have _all_ of the default values set in the kernel completely stock machine except for the 3 packages i installed...(bash, cvsup and OpenSSH-askpass-1.2.2.2001.02.24 and of course the dependencies they installed) Is something going wrong....should i abort this and start over? something i can look at to see why it's taking so long or maybe it's just that 5.3 is made to build on exponentially faster machines...and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the patience. Aaron PS...i see a lot of this as it's building.... /usr/src/gnu/lib/libstdc++/../../../contrib/libstdc++/src/valarray-inst.cc:1: warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible is this just some switch (-ffunction i presume) that is turned off in the kernel?
