I might miss something here. I use an Althon CPU in my "world-builder" box and I haven't run into any problems with worlds&kernels built on that box for Intel based machines(P90-PIII450). The worldbuilder has an empty /etc/make.conf. I think Michael was just warning about CPU specific stuff in /etc/make.conf on the machine doing the actual building. Take a look at /etc/defaults/make.conf for various CPU specific variables that can be set. greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
