They outline a lot of the things they had to do to make Linux build with icc, I seem to recall. In general it's the same stuff we all know anyway, but the point is they were able to do it, and I *THINK* they may have even included manhour figures, which could be useful if someone were to look into doing something similar for FreeBSD. Google or the Intel IA64 site should point you in the right direction. /j. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
