I decided to make this into another thread since this seems to be fairly 
important...

In one discussion about linux being faster than freebsd (hah) there was 
mention that things needed to be re-compiled with FPU support turned on...

Does anyone have a set of instructions for doing this?

I never know I had to, so I didn't really think about it, I thought it 
was just one of those things that was handled internally...

I know that I'm going to do this on all my machines once I get the chance...
I just never knew about this..

Anyone?
