Yes, i've been running custom kernels ever since i realized how massive the redhat stock kernels are (not that this is a bad thing, i appreciate that they have to do it for default wide spread compatibility, but its just not for me). I haven't dared venture into the dev tree yet though because i like to have a pretty stable system also. but the second 2.6 is on the mirrors its mine :-) After reading all your submissions I/you... we :-) have solved the problem i was having. creating the /etc/rpmrc with : - optflags: athlon -O3 -march=athlon-xp <end> and starting the rebuild process with the command:- rpmbuild --rebuild --target athlon-linux-gnu this is compiling everything i have tested it on so far using the -o3 flag and the -march=athlon-xp flag. its producing light speed binaries for me, but the downside is its taking ages to compile. but i can cope with that :-) Thanks for all your help guys you've been great, Adam PS, I have another question similar to this about compiling the kernel sources using the -O3 and -march=athlon-xp flags, but i will post it in its own thread so it is clear for everyone, thanks again. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
