I'd suggest an install script which sets amd_flags directly (which will get it put into your new rc.conf) or copies over a localized copy with fetch, or something. You can call arbitrary commands from scripts if you're careful about the ordering (e.g. call complex commands only _after_ bin is installed ;). > a) Have AMD throttle its process creation at startup. > b) Have GENERIC go out with more process slots. > c) Find a way to have a custom kernel be installed automatically, > instead of GENERIC. It's possible to have a custom kernel installed automatically, you just have to have a little post-installation step of your own in the installation script. The other two options don't strike me as winners this late in the game. Jordanhome | help
