Hello all Tomorrow I'll perform my first Gentoo install. I'll do it in a Acer 4002 WLMi Laptop (Pentium M 725, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, Intel Wireless 2200BG). I'd like to ask for suggestions about it, specially dealing with CFLAGS. I'm printing Gentoo Handbook for fast reference, but I'll also have a working PC with Internet connection by me in case of problems ;-).
First of all, I'll partition my HD with SystemRescue CD 0.2.15 and QTParted, since I'm not an experienced fdisk user and I have to resize a FAT32 partition. Then I'll be using a 2004.3 minimal Gentoo CD for the installation. I've already tested both boot on my laptop (I must disable hotplugging on SystemRescue due to a hw_random problem). Summary of my questions: :-) a) What optimizations would you use? I've heard that this version already has specific CFLAGs for Pentium M, instead of using p-III ones... b) What else should I know to success in less than two days? Please enlighten my path with your experience :-) Thanks in advance -- Juan Ignacio S�nchez Lara Ingeniero T�cnico en Inform�tica de Sistemas www.juanignaciosl.tk -- [email protected] mailing list
