I686_CPU only kernel build
My current kernel is compiled with cpu I686_CPU only. Will this cause any problems if I try to build and run, for example, the JDK 1.4 port which is said to be a i586 release? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The difference doesn't give a problem on a i686. It just means you switch you instruction set from time to time. This isn't a problem because the i686 can also read the instruction set of the previous processors. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
