I am in the middle of re-attempting an installation after my first two attempts froze. I have just completed an "emerge sync", and I'm giving the /etc/make.conf file a once-over before I go.
Question. Apologies if this is a FAQ. Google doesn't provide a clear answer... In the CHOST section at the top, my default value (before entering stage 1) is "i486-pc-linux-gnu". In reading the comments, it says to leave this alone for a "Pentium Pro or higher processor." My P4 is indeed >= PPro. However, then it says that any "modern" machine should use i686. Later on, in CFLAGS, the file has an "-mCPU=i686" declaration. So which is it? Should I leave it at i486 and proceed with stage1, or change it to i686? Should I leave it alone for stage1, then go back and change it for stage2? Jason Newquist San Francisco Bay Area -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
