I had read that the pentium m is more archetectually similar to the pentium3 than the pentium4, wheras it is more functionally similar (in respect to instruction sets, etc.) to the pentium4. I'm using pentium3 for my cflags. Check out the new 2.6 kernels, they have a pentium-m type right in them. Check out tuxmobil ( http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html ). It is an excellent collection of howtos, and theres one in particular that I think is rather well done. <shameless plug> http://cidesign.ca/~chris/gentoo-centrino/ </shameless plug> I just did a partial update of it with my experiences. The only problem with not writing down as you go is that you don't remember most of what happened. For those a little slower than the rest, yes I am self promoting. -- Chris I [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: www.cidesign.ca/~chris/ "What time is it?"
