Depends on your setup, but the usual answer is no. If you are
using a 2.0.x kernel, it's compile UP by default. If you're using a 2.1.x
kernel, it's compiled SMP by default. Of course you can change this
behavior in either version, by editing the makefile in the kernel source
top level directory, and recompiling the kernel.
HTH, Matt
