    Hello,

    Brand new to FreeBSD. I must say I luv everything so far, especially
    how simple everything seemed to go from initial installation to kernel
    compilation to a GUI XFCE4 desktop running Firefox. Everything just
    works. I like that alot. This is of course is after a few days worth
    or reading and research. Well worth the Return On Investment,
    considering FreeBSD is Free as well. ;)

    There are a few Key areas that need some attention that man pages and
    the FBSD handbook/manual are not helping make any clearer for me.

    1) /etc/make.conf
     A) If this file doesn't exist what CPU, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS settings are
    used and where(what global file is used if any), when compiling a
    package in /usr/ports/?

     B) Is there a link that describes what are considered safe CFLAGS AND
    CXXFLAGS settings depending on what type of CPU a person is using,
    that a person can use in their "make.conf" file? Right now I have a
    PII 300 MHz.

     C) The /etc/make.conf file as well as the settings inside of the
    example /etc/defaults/make.conf file are confusing to me. I'm totally
    unsure of what settings are safe to use and which are not and what
    kind of impact this file has once in place in /etc/?

    Thanks
