I'd say 16MB is a bare minimum and >= 32MB will make you happy. Since your machine seems to have reset during the night, I'd suspect bad RAM, although you _might_ have been bitten by running out of memory. :-( You signed off with a note that you're running 2.2.7. If you're going to track the recent ports, you'll need updated makefiles in /usr/share/mk. IMHO, the best way to keep all this straight is to track the -STABLE branch. Got plenty of disk space? Even better, get a local repository going. Come back if this gets confusing :-) Good Luck, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
