Make stops because some process (I think it's ld) gets killed because of an out-of-swap condition. Last time i made world on this machine, it worked flawlessly. That was FreeBSD 4.5- stable, early in April. Are there any tweks I can do that will allow the 'make buildworld' to succeed? Installing more memory and/or a larger disk in this laptop isn't an option. Any hints thankfully appreciated. -- Torfinn Ingolfsen Norway To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
