I'm also glad that it's not just me! If you want to stay stable, you could either install everything from the latest SNAPSHOT (excluding the preprepared packages) or CVSUP and make world.... I prefer to reinstall the snapshot since it's much faster than making world and etc. Also, I really can't justify the performance gain I get from recompiling the files with all the system specific optimization flags enabled. Anyone getting enormouse or noticeable performance gain through recompilation? For the packages, I'm getting it from FreeBSD 4.3 Release ftp sites. Yours sincerely, Sung N.
