[gentoo-user] stage3 for notebook/pentium-m
Hi Gentoo-fans, I want to install gentoo on my pentium-m (centrino 2) based notebook, but I do not know which stage3 should I download and use: i586, i686 or x86? And which -march setting should I define for Pentium-M? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The livecd-i686-installer should be fine. > And which -march setting should I define for Pentium-M? Depends: if you intend to use gcc 3.3.x, then you'd have to go with pentium3, if you want to use gcc 3.4.x and above, then you can use -march=pentium-m W -- Conserve Energy, commute with an Hamiltonian!

You should be alright with i686 and you should use "-march=pentium-m": http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html -- I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. - Albert Einstein -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For the -march option it depends on the gcc version you are planning to use - for versions <=3.3 use -march=pentium3, for version >= 3.4 you can use -march=pentium-m /this is what I use / Tushe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] stage3 for notebook/pentium-m
Thanks to everyone who replied (Willie, Daniel, Todor...) Just out of curiosity: how long (approximately) does it take to install a common gentoo-desktop (with X+KDE) on a notebook (pentium-m 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)? So that I knew how much time to reserve for it... BTW, I'm a little afraid of possible overheating, as notebooks are usually not expected to work under high load for long time...

I didn't recognize temperature issues - every now and then the cooler turned on for a couple of minutes and that was it. > > BTW, I'm a little afraid of possible overheating, as notebooks > are usually not expected to work under high load for long time... > > Jarry > > -- > "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ... > Jetzt GMX TopMail testen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

My last 'emerge -e world' on the laptop took just under 2 days: I don't have any large packages like KDE or Gnome or OO, but that's also with a lot of crap that I installed which is not necessary for a base system. If you leave you laptop in a well ventilated area, overheating shouldn't be an issue. As a side question, there used to be an option with 'genlop' which you can pipe to it the output from 'emerge --pretend' and show the expected total merge time. Is there a way of doing this with 'qlop'? W -- ARTHUR What is an Algolian Zylatburger anyway?
