            Though that would only affect ports/packages you've installed, and not
    the rest of your system.

            I regularly cvsup /usr/ports and /usr/src and use "portupgrade -arR" to
    upgrade my ports and "make buildworld && make buildkernel
    KERNCONF=GENERIC && make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && make
    installworld" to update the rest of my system.

            I still consider myself very new to most of this, though, so I'm not
    certain, but I think the system should be able to determine your CPUTYPE
    automatically, without needing it hardcoded in make.conf. I think you
    should only need to use this directive if for some reason it's
    improperly detecting your cpu type. Hopefully someone can confirm or
    disprove that for you, though.
