Hi all, I'm considering recompiling the kernel in a FreeBSD 4.0 system; and I have a few question: 1. My system has an Athlon 700Mhz chip, 384Mb RAM, 1Gb swap and no pcmcia devices. I will be running a database server using MySQL. If I just want to specify the cpu type and remove pcmcia support, will the improved performance be worth the effort? (I want to keep scsi support for future flexibility.) 2. Was the kernel that is initially installed with FreeBSD 4.0 configured using the GENERIC configuration file? In other words, if I recompile using a copy of GENERIC without adding options/devices, will I lose support for things I didn't comment out?
