Hi ..
I agree that optimizations are most of the time "futile" :) .. so is
resistance :) ... ina ny case .. I like to live on the edge .. that is
why I'm running 5.0-current .. and I've compiled the following things
with optimizations.

That -O is safe seems to be a persistent myth. GCC also produces
broken code for -O and no optimization in some cases, sometimes while

... to get FreeBSD to boot off a BSD partition that wasn't labeled as
0xa5? I'm looking for a way to create a disk that a certain picky

Well, it seems that -CURRENT likes locking up nowdays. It started happening
very recently, and I (as well as jlemon) do suspect that it's a problem
with some of the changes that were made to the syscall mechanisms on
3/28/2000.
Keep in mind that this problem is completely corroborated by a frien

That's an acute accent (the same diacritic as in 'é'), not an

Take a look at some of the provided *.acc.kbd keymaps.

As there isn´t a dutch keymap for syscons, I made one (iso8859-1) but
I´m having some problems. First, how do I enable/use dead keys? (which
look like they´re being defined in the standard map, a dump of the
defaults gives e.g. this line
dced 184 ( 'c' 231 ) ( 'C' 199 )
)
Secondly, t

Last weekend I dl'ed the Xfree4.0 distribution (for FreeBSD) from
Xfree86.org.
xvidtune gpf's on my machine (but seems to work when xf86Setup
calls it)
Anyone has a similar experience?

A very quick example of why big -O3 gcc optimizations are a bad thing?
my /etc/make.conf has
USA_RESIDENT=NO
CFLAGS=-O3 -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer
NOPROFILE=true
(NOPROFILE=true because profiled libraries fail to build with no frame pointer)
now, cd /usr/port
