Really. No, really. I mean read it :) And, since no one expects you to really, really read it, I'll give you some shortcuts. First, look for the word KERNCONF in /usr/src/UPDATING Read all of the language around every occurence of that word (KERNCONF). Then, when you are ready, do this: make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP make installkernel KERNCONF=SMP Then reboot. Note here that I'm giving you the shortest possible route, which may be problematic for you. You really must become familiar with /usr/src/UPDATING. Anyway, after the reboot, you should type: cat /var/log/messages | grep -i launch if you see the terms "CPU1 Launched!" then you've got yourself an SMP kernel. Good Luck! lane
