Hi,

i'm thinking about ordering a new notebook and i'm thinking about copying my gentoo from desktop to the upcoming notebook.
My desktop is:

processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 1
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.90GHz
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 1900.128
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm
bogomips : 3805.61

and make.conf:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.zie.pg.gda.pl http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
FEATURES="ccache"
CCACHE_SIZE="2G"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/local \
/usr/local/overlays/gentoo-de"
PORTAGE_NICENESS="15"

My new notebook will be
"Intel Centrino Duo Mobil technology with Intel Core Duo Prozessor T2300 1.66 GHz"
or an
"Intel Pentium M 760 with Centrino-technology 2.0 GHz (Intel Alviso chipset) / 2 MB 2nd Level Cache, 533 FSB"

Here are the german onlineshop links to the 2 notebooks:

Can i mirror my / to the notebook and recompile everything with new -march? How is the emerge command looking like? I'm not sure emerge -D world will manage this big job. What do you recommend me to do? If i decide to order the Duo, what USE-Flags you would recommend me to use?

Either you go with rsync after a base install

rsync -a --include=.* source dest

but you shold test that if it real get all the files to the not book

or you take your world file from the desktop
/var/lib/portage/world

and do a

The method with the world file sounds very nice
