Hi, A friend was thinking about installing Gentoo for the first time. As I haven't done a new x86 install in maybe a year or more and my AMD64 install was in 2004 I thought I'd look at the state of things from the POV of a new user.
1) One new thing (for me) is the future elimination of the 200X.Y install CDs in favor of some sort of a weekly release. I downloaded and booted from here: http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/current/ 2) Poking around the running environment things seem to work and it's nicely up to date with a new kernel, etc. One thing I didn't find though was /etc/make.conf. I'm curious as to where I might get a copy of make.conf to see how gcc flags were set up for this CD? If there isn't a specific file then is there some way to get the flag settings from some other tool? Also, is there an AMD64 Quick Install guide? I did this AMD64 install 5 years ago and there wasn't in those days. I'm only spotting x86 now. Thanks, Mark
