You can 'push' MAKEOPTS to "-l 10.8", methinks. Although honestly I don't think a difference of 0.8 will make any discernible effect :-) (Yes, 'man make' says that "-l" accepts floating-point numbers. I just checked) But your settings make perfect sense to me :-) Rgds, -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ • LOPSA Member #15248 • Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com • Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan
