2006-11-15 Thread Jon M
Hey again everyone, Here is my situation: I have CentOS running on a system in a datacenter, but want to switch to Gentoo. Basically what I've started to do is installed Gentoo on a P4 3.0Ghz machine at home, and plan on moving it to a Pentium D 2.66Ghz. Now if I configure/compile/install al

Well, I do this often time You can compile on one computer and put the drive to another without any problem If your both computer have the same material ... nothing to do Well CFGLAS on P4 should be like -02 -march=p4 -pipe -fmoit-frame-pointer so both are P4, you can switch easyly if both h

Hi all, Pentium D is actually an emt64 dual core cpu, so while CFLAGS -march=pentium4 will work, it will be x86-32 instead of x86-64 and of course the compiled apps won't know nothing about the dual core (read almost dual CPU), still it will run, and it will run fast, you may want to recompile the

The system you would replace, is on the Pentium D ? I don't remember the distro name, but not the gentoo one. So if Pentium D contain 64 bits distro you would replace by gentoo ... they is a solution to compile it directly on this computer in 64 bits, so after just replace the main system w
