Hi!
I'm running my HP nx7000 Pentium M 1.5 GHz with
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
for almost a year now. Although some people suggested not to use -march=pentium4 this box is running a stable Gentoo for over a year now. I even use that machine to compile binary packages for the rest of my real P4s.

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
