We can either take the approach of letting people specify their CPU by the name they know it by, and letting the computer translate to what it needs. Or we can make them have to learn how we named them. While "k6/3dnow" is the capability we want to know, it certainly isn't as intuitive as the "k6-2" I am using right now. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
