So -disable-atomic disables the cpu check then?  I just got in and  
haven't looked it up yet.

My complaint was not that it took a long time to build because the  
system was slow - that I've willingly experienced before - my  
complaint was that the build time with pkgsrc was long because it  
built perl which I don't think is necessary to build bind96.  Or is  
perl now a requirement for bind96?

I get some flack still from people for using almost all Cobalt  
systems in my home network but the darn things are almost  
indestructible and basically use the same amount of power as laptops.

Besides - I think they look much better than your average server. :-)

I just got one of the red Incinerator model Qube2 boxes in the mail  
from a friend recently and I fully intend to utilize it somewhere.
