| Added a comment. Please note that G5 32bit is rock solid, I'm running |

I saw that. Cool. Hope im not being too annoying with these |
| 7 |
questions/posts. :) Im trying to be helpful, _really_ i am :) |

| java, kde, gnome, koffice, kdevelop, openoffice-ximian, windowmaker, |
| 10 |
| fluxbox, xfce4,... all on my G5. |
| 11 |
| (That vim thing is solved in ppc unstable.) The only thing required is |
| 12 |
| run ldconfig before emerging vim. |

Ahhhhhh! Bingo! Light dawns :) |

Ah!!! There has been some confusion on my part. I had previously assumed |
| 17 |
that mcpu=G5 had _only_ been for ppc64. I didnt realise that you ment |
| 18 |
mcpu=G5 for 32 bit too. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Now I think about it, im not sure why I assumed that. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Ill do a rebuild with the cpu=g5 + other flags tomorrow and Ill try |
| 23 |
and write up a 'howto' page (given I think it would have helped me, so |
| 24 |
I assume it will help others too). |

I think kernel will be the next challange, but I guess most of my |
| 27 |
problems so far have been trying to build the ppc64 kernel, so maybe |
| 28 |
the ppc32 will be easier. :) |

| Use a 32bit kernel with 32bit userland, 32bit G5 support is extremely |
| 32 |
| stable. The 64bit ames kernel is quite unstable for 32bit. |

*nod* ok. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Im pretty keen to get into it for the project we're working on, maybe |
| 37 |
I should get more used to g5 ppc32 first :) before I take the leap to |
| 38 |
ppc64. |
