[gentoo-user] -O2 + something = better -O3
Someone here said that -O2 and one more flag is much better than -O3. The only difference between -O2 and -O3 is that -O3 = -O2 + -finline-functions + -frename-registers. Which of those two flags makes -O2 become better than -O3. I don't know how to use time when I don't have a program to check it. I would be great to have something like mozilla compiled in both ways and see what is faster, but my poor CPU is only Celeron (Mendocino) 300A, and it's a lot faster for me to ask on the list for advice then to compile mozilla only once (not to mention another compile process).

BillK -O2 is better than -O3, but adding extra flags seems to produce at best only a couple of percent gain in most cases, and possibly at the cost of stability. Some processor intensive apps will benefit more, but mozilla is not one of them. I've mentioned mozilla just as an example of a big, CPU demanding program.

[gentoo-user] kernel-2.6.0 makes some funny things
First of all my scroll on mouse doesn't work. I have two kernels on my system (the first one is 2.4.20) and with old kernel it works fine (so it's not configuration of X or hardware problem). I've have psmouse and mousedev compiled and loaded as modules. Do I need something else? Second problem is PC speaker. I have no sound from it with new kernel. Do I miss some modules? Thanx and keep hacking. :o) -- Meka[ni] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Any ideas? It very easy. You need to install samba and configure it. Usualy, documentation from samba it self is enough to figure out how to configure it. Next you need to do is to share distfiles (that's one line in smb.conf) and to mount it under (laptop's) distfiles. That's it. Good luck. :o) Meka[ni] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
