Hi,

Yes and no, let me explain. The first thing I do just after I install
FreBSD on a box (given it has enough cpu power) is rebuild world and
kernel after tweaking /etc/make.conf. So I set the appropriate CPUTYPE
flags and rebuild everything. As long as there's enough spare space to
include an extra SMP-enabled kernel, I'm all for it, but my wild guess
is that most people running SMP systems either rebuild their kernel for
SMP + custom settings and/or rebuild world after install.

If there's free space on the first CD, I'd say go for it.
