From my PIII's /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j1
To confirm the mmx and sse flags, boot any linux live CD, and execute
cat /proc/cpuinfo
The FLAGS line should contain mmx and sse. You should also have
mmx and sse in your USE variable.

Re: [gentoo-user] (A bit OT) Gentoo on a Dell OptiPlex G1
There is a problem with the power supply on Dell. At some point, they reversed the polarity, making it proprietary. If you put a non-Dell motherboard on one of those machines without changing out the powersupply, you'll fry it. The details are available at http://hardwareguys.com .

Gentoo! If you go to the Dell support web site and punch in the service tag or serial number (on the back, probably on the PSU) you can get complete technical specs on that machine. Yeah, I know, but the only original parts are the case, riser card and power supply. :-) The motherboard? I didn't know you could do that much to a Dell.. Don't get your hopes up. It's a replacement. The voltage regulator on the old one failed, so it would spontaneously reboot. But I imagine motherboards from similar Dell desktops of that era would also fit in that case. -- Colin Oh, so it's just a more or less identical replacement from Dell? Which parts are just replacements and which are actually different? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list pgpYQAwIWj7l9.pgp Description: PGP signature

How large is the hard drive? I'm not loading any DE's, just the basic server stuff like OpenSSH, Squid, iptables, dhcpd, dnsmasq, ProFTPd, rsync, distcc, Samba, hardened-sources, etc. This is still in the planning stages. I've read through the Home Server HOWTO on the Gentoo Wiki site, that's where I got this great idea.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Would Gentoo install and run on this machine without any problems? It looks like it will make an ideal server/NAT gateway/distcc node/rsync server/DHCP server/DNS server/wireless AP for my home network. Also, I'd like to put a Pentium III in this machine, since it will be under a decent load most of the time. A 550 MHz Slot 1 Pentium III is possible in this machine, but I want more power. I've heard about someone using a slocket (Slot1-Socket370 adapter) and an FC-PGA2 adapter in the slocket to successfully use a 1.4 GHz Pentium III (Tualatin core). Has anyone out there put a Socket 370 processor in this machine? -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
