Hi,

I've installed two weeks ago my P4 system from stage3 + GRP (gnome + 
openoffice)

I want to rebuild it today in the back-ground.

so after some digging around in the doc I did:
emerge sync
emerge ufed (to edit my USE variables)
nano -w /etc/make.conf (to optimize my P4 and increase
                        the niceness so it is really
                        in the back-ground)
with the following:
CFLAGS="-march=-O3 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -fforce-addr 
-fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt 
-falign-functions=4 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
PORTAGE_NICENESS=3
FEATURES="buildpkg"

and finally I launched
emerge -ef system && emerge -ef world

and in another term
emerge -ebk system && emerge -ebk world

I launched the first emerge to use more efficiently my ressources (CPU and 
Internet bandwith) as otherwise my CPU is doing nothing during downloads and 
my ADSL is not doing much either when I compile packages.

All this to ask if I could do anything better, but also because I feel that a 
small HOW-TO on rebuilding gentoo to its full potential would be great (I 
wouldn't mind contributing) and maybe it will suggest to gentoo developer 
some small tools that could improve even more gentoo attractiveness.

Regards,
Alx.

Thanks to all gentoo-devs, I love Gentoo...
