X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 17:59:02 -0000 I'm a bit confused which CPUTYPE I should be using in the make.conf file. For my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, dmesg shows the following: CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz (1993.54 686-class CPU) and for my web server, dmesg shows the same thing although is has a AMD Sempron 1800BOX3100+ I see in the documentation that CPUTYPE=i686 is for older Pentium types, so does that mean I should use CPUTYPE=i686 (even though dmesg shgows '686-class CPU') And my kernel file then? cpu I686_CPU or I586_CPU. What should I use for my laptop? For my web server? Thanks a lot in advance. -- Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
