I'm not going to use Grub this time, I'm going to use Lilo. I'm up to the point where I "nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf" I've changed CHOST="i486-pc-linux0gnu" to CHOST="i586-pc-linux0gnu" as the instructions tell me to do, this is a Mobile Pentium 233MMX so it's an i586 I've changed CLFLAGS="-03 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe" to CLFLAGS="-03 *-march=i586* -funroll-loops -pipe" as the instructions tell me to do, this is a Pentium Mobile 233MMX so it's an i586 I don't want to move the hard disk to any other machine. From what I see in the CLFLAGS the order of the flags is wrong either on the website or in the file The website says -03 should be the second flag The file has -03 as the first flag Not knowing if it matters what order the flags are in (it shouldn't matter) I have been leaving them alone. I add the following because I want the code to come from the closest site "Seren". RSYNC_RETRIES="3" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo/" SYNC="rsync://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo-portage" This site is really fast for the downloads and has not choked on anything. save & exit I'm ready to "chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash" "env-update" "source /etc/profile" as instructed. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
