why are everyone so obsessed about "optimizing" their packages? in most cases it only gives marginal perfomance increase and often introduces weird bugs and performance penalties.. here's a little example: http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=2472&lang=en anyways, other than that you could aways use rpm-rebuilder and change optflags in ~/.rpmmacros... but in most cases it's just not worth it.. - -- Regards, Per �yvind Karlsen Sintrax Solutions http://www.sintrax.net - +47 41681061 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+eJmWv8F7V9JOSuURAgSyAJ9kPDOsFrSTuJUvv3hmLhyt4IGSKgCcC7jp a7kup13n8mHJeovqPwAE5nA= =sHHz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
