The later is used if you build for p2 on a different platform. CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS look ok. You can try -O2 for COPTFLAGS but expect some instabilities. > > I am not sure I understand the difference between CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS. > Am I right in saying that COPTFLAGS is used for kernel builds and CFLAGS > is used for everything else?

Just rebuilding the kernel after modifying make.conf should be enough. > > Next I guess I need to re-build the rest of the userland apps.

I can see CVSup config files for -CURRENT and > -STABLE, but not for -RELEASE. RELENG_X means FreeBSD X-STABLE, RELENG_X_Y means FreeBSD X.Y-RELEASE.

The simplest way I would do is pkg_delete -ad. This would delete *all* the installed ports. Then selectively rebuild the ports as required. > Sorry for so many questions in one go! You don't learn something unless you have the guts to ask, so be proud about it. :-) Regards, S.
