You can't get beat... CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" That's what I use, except for cross-compiling. For an explanation of the "unwind" flags, see thread... http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.busybox/36695 from the busybox mailing list. And don't forget CPU_FLAGS_X86. Emerge and run app-portage/cpuinfo2cpuflags as soon as you can during the install process. I believe that's right after running "eselect profile". And then run "emerge system && emerge world". It's a lot quicker when you don't have very much installed on the machine. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
