The next thing would be to decide what ya gonna do with it. Then all of the above may or may not be necessary. Example: - Traffic shaping with pf/altq needs custom kernel -> altq(4) If you play games or use other apps that make processes grow beyond 512MB, you also need to set kern.defdsiz and kern.maxdsiz in /boot/loader.conf to a more desirable value (if you can spare the physical ram). There's also freebsd-update, which will apply binary patches, following the security advisories. -- Mel _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
