The only reason I brought it up was because if 64MB was the minimum I was going to suggest keeping it, but it would seem 128MB is closer to a sensible minimum which is a bit much for the average system. Any chance we could use the hw.physmem or hw.usermem sysctls to get a general idea wether we should build with --enable-final or not? I know that doesn't actually determine available memory for the build but it is probably better than going just one way or the other. I can work up a patch for this if you're OK with that. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
