i was reading up on the wiki and came across the 'Ultimate Gentoo Box' i want to give it a shot i just had a couple questions.
1. i think i want to give ~x86 a try, i find myself adding more and more keywords to my package.keywords file anyway. how to i go about getting everything ~x86? and if so, is it "known" to break things all the time? or are people running pure ~x86 with no problems? also how to i tell the system to replace all the packages with ~x86 ones? and finally what happens to the things that are in my package.keywords file now? 2. the CFLAGS on their looked really interesting and i think i want to recompile my entire system with those flags, how do i go about doing that? will an 'emerge -euD world' work? or is there something else i have to do to get it to recompile everything? 3. could someone please explain to me in plain english ( i have read about them online ) what the main difference is between -O3 and -O2? i know -O3 is more optimized, but which is better to make the system perform better? the wiki site im refering to states he uses -O2, i am currently using -O3 when i did my stage one install. what is going to make my system perform better? im running a p4 2.4Ghz laptop with 1gig ram ati mobility video, and if this works i have several other systems i want to do the same thing with. (except the server) thanks for any and all input. Nick -- [email protected] mailing list
