Thank you very much for your help. Just one last question (slightly getting OT) - are CFLAGS settings on FreeBSD more critical than on Linux? http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3.html recommends -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer 'for those who don't want to experiment, want a stable system, but still optimized..' _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
