[gentoo-user] new install

[gentoo-user] new install

[James]

OK,

It's been a while, so I'm following the handbook to install a gentoo
server that will eventually become a firewall using a 4GB Compact
Flash to IDE drive  on this mobo(processor):



# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping        : 6
cpu MHz         : 1002.398
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat
pse36 mmx fxsr sse up
bogomips        : 2007.10



So looking, via links Chapter 5, I have these choices:

install-x86-minimal-20090901
stage3-i486-20090901.tar.bz2
stage3-i686-20090901.tar.bz2

which of these should I download?


Here is my proposed make.conf file. Please suggest any enhancements,
I should make to this file:

CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
PORTAGE_NICENESS="1"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="-* -nls hardened  ncurses ssl crypt berkdb tcpd pam perl pcre \
python readline zlib bzip2 nptl nptlonly syslog"


PS I lost that url to the nifty file where the cpu/arch is matched with
CHOST and flag settings for various architectures.... This make.conf file
was for a minimal K6 system and the Pentium3 should be a little bit different?



All suggestions are most welcome.....

Well I found the doc:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Safe_Cflags/Intel

so here are my answers to my questions:


CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Where -O2 is change to -Os to keep binaries small.

Adding these entris to the USE flags:  mmx sse


Any other suggestions or comments are most welcome.

Also you may want to add:  -msse -mmmx although I believe that -march=pentium3 
will include these anyway.
