With the new pkgng (the replacement for the traditional pkg infrastructure that handles precompiled binary packages) this won't be a problem, as long as the default compile options and settings are fine for you. If not, today's PCs have multiple plenticore CPUs with tons of RAM and endless hard disks, so running "portmaster -a" won't be a big deal. :-) On FreeBSD, it's _your_ choice. It's already in The FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html Soon, it will be the system's default. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
