We also have a number of different machines for which we use a single kernel/userland compile, ranging from old K6's and PII's (and perhaps a few Pentium MMX's) to recent PIII's. There are large numbers of these machines, and no way to reasonably make variant kernels for them all. I'm sure other people running large numbers of servers accumulated over time have a similar problem (Yahoo?) So I'd add one vote for making to easy (or at least not hard) to include multiple architecture optimizations in one kernel/userland release, ala Solaris. -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
