if its less than 1ghz then download the i686 cds/tarballs and set the make options to march=athlon
if its a duron and over 1ghz it may be an athlon xp, run cat /proc/cpuinfo and if there is an entry for sse then you can use the athlon-xp cds and its make options else go back to before

| I have an athlon 700 mhz. I use the i686 and march="athlon" and that works great. Hey, does anyone know what an Athlon MP is equal too? I have one box with 2 MP 1200's and one with 2 MP 2000's. The one with MP 2000's I built with the i686 package and march="athlon" and it works great. Are there any other optimizations anyone knows of for an Athlon MP? Thanks. |

same as above, if sse is in cat /proc/cpuinfo the its an athlon xp core, i would guess the 1200s will be t-bird cores but the 2000 should be an xp

acording to man gcc its basicly the same as athlon-xp so will requier sse suport though since the gcc guy probably know their hardware that likely means mp cores have see suport, check though

Hi
sad to say I didn't succeed with the emerge of coldplug as it missed a package named coldplug-20040920 masked (something) x86. As I didn't have a network connection I couldn't emerge --sync as someone suggested and I didn't find any other suggestion on the forum.
Suggestion anyone?
Regards
Johan, Sweden |

to unmask something | Code: | echo "sys-apps/coldplug ~x86 " >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
|
but if you dont have a network connection how will you get the source code

Hi
I did like you suggested but it complained about a bad atom...? I copied the source from the ISO discs as suggested in the installation manual...
