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

The livecd-i686-installer should be fine.

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

You should be alright with i686 and you should use "-march=pentium-m":

You can safely use i686 tarballs.
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 /

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 have a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M with 512 MB RAM and I find that little beast
a noch faster than my P4 2.4 desktop with 512 MB. I compiled a full
blown Gnome environment including Firefox and OpenOffice 2 in less then
a day. I didn't recognize temperature issues - every now and then the
cooler turned on for a couple of minutes and that was it.

My experience is similar, though I'd say my laptop and desktop are
just about as fast (1.6PM+512ram vs 2.0P4+512ram). 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'?
