If you abuse the "-j X" option of make you could make your box eat itself (i.e. it's resources), I've seen it happen on some OSs when compiling kernels, but I admit to using "make -j" occasionally. Blair Sutton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] wi

Hello! You see, I actually never had a clear vision of the whole `make -j' issue during making the world. Most notably, I'm not quite sure that it's perfectly OK to use it, that is, not being afraid that something would go wrong. So, I've been running make without speci
