I dont understand exactly why do you have to recompile, unless a new future is needed, like SMP, isnt it?, what harm is doing those extra megs? May be you could clarify on this (for the newbies... :-) ), i always add things to generic instead of cut them down, especially that im not an expert on every future commented there, and i am scared to break working things, openbsd recomends dont recompile, shoul we? thanks
