I haven't had a make world failure here since switching from FreeBSD 3.0 back to 2.2. I have cvsuped maybe 20 times since the beginning of ap ril and done a world with every one of them, without fail. The CPU is a Intel P60, with 8M of ram, 24M swap and 900M disk space total. Of course it isn't state of the art, but it works, and seems to be 100% Intel Compatible :) ---------------------------------------------- Eric A.
