Jude, the initial CFLAGS I suggested are safe, but suboptimal. They do not tune your system's compiler to utilise all of your CPU's instructions. In the first instance, you should set the CFLAGS as appropriate for your PC and specifically include -march=native, as suggested by Waldo. Please

Hi Michael, -march=x86-64 and -mtune=generic will not speed up your OS installation. These flags tell compilers to produce binaries that can run on any AMD64 system and that aren't optimized for your specific system. These flags have no effect on binary packages, since those have already been

Hi Jude, If you intend to use Gentoo's precompiled binary packages, to speed up your OS installation, you should have 'generic' CFLAGS; e.g.: CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" Please check these pages: https://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/Gentoo-binary.html

You can check while within your chroot, if /dev/fd is a symlink to the directory /proc/self/fd. If the above is correct, then there may be a problem with your shell. Check what you get when you run: # echo $SHELL or, # ps -p $$ Bash should work fine, but from the little I understand about

The line to test if a symlink exists to /run/shm/ from /dev/shm is only needed when you use non-Gentoo live media to install your system. With the Gentoo installation media, whether you use the minimal CD or the admincd, such an action is not needed. On Tuesday, 21 May 2024 17:52:01 BST Jude

For card specs I always do a web search with the model number, though you may have to put it in a slot to read that info.  Most of the cards I buy come from ebay, used, so I'm always looking up the specs.  If it's from a server looking up the part number from one of the labels should work.
