John Wards SportNetwork.net _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Find the CPU in the GENERIC kernel that is closest to=20 yours and comment out the others. (Don't comment out=20 the line for the i386 architecture by mistake,=20 assuming that's what you have.) Look in /etc/defaults/make.conf for a list of=20 processor types you can put in the CPUTYPE line. Then=20 everything you build, including the kernel and FreeBSD=20 itself, will be optimized for that CPU type. Don't=20 uncomment or change anything in=20 /etc/defaults/make.conf. Instead,=20 cp /etc/defaults/make.conf /etc and make any changes in /etc/make.conf. Re optimizations for RAM - sorry, don't know of any.
