In my home network, I have two machines. One is a 486 and the other a Pentium 3. Because it takes the 486 well over a day to buildworld, I decided to attempt to use the P3 to do the builds as described in the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.h tml). I'm a little confused with how to set up /etc/make.conf. Currently, I have CPUTYPE=p3 and =i486 set in the respective machines. I suspect I have to remove this so files will run on both? What do I lose by not optimizing for the CPU type? Also, on the P3 I have COMPAT3X=yes as I need the libraries for FrontPage 2000 extensions. However I don't need these installed on the 486. Is there a way to accomplish this? And finally, I don't install Sendmail on the P3 as I use Postfix but on the 486 I do. I guess I could use Postfix on the 486 but haven't taken the time to build it as I only use it to forward the periodic emails when run by cron. Sendmail works "out of the box" so I never changed it. Any suggestions? Once I have make.conf and the appropriate KERNCONF files configured properly, I understand I run the make builds on the P3. Then to run the make installs, I mount the P3 /usr/src and /usr/obj dirs on the 486. I guess to do this I would delete the current contents of the 486 /usr/obj and /usr/src and then use the empty directories as mount points? Is this the best way? Thanks for your help clearing my confusion. Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
