Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've already talked about it in the "CHOST" thread, but now it's |
| 4 |
finished: If you use anonymous FTP and go to |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
ftp://one.tisys.org/pub/linux/tisys/gentoo |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
you will find a file called "stage3-i586-20110208.tar.bz" that |
| 9 |
contains a Gentoo stage3 tarball built with CHOST = i586-pc-linux-gnu |
| 10 |
and march=i586 (CFLAGS). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you have an i586 class machine (Pentium, Pentium MMX, AMD K6, |
| 13 |
K6-II, etc.) you might want to pick up this stage3 tarball and use it |
| 14 |
for your installation in case you don't want to stick with the i486 |
| 15 |
CHOST of the official Gentoo tarball and / or manually change the |
| 16 |
CHOST to i586 after installation. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Installation-wise, of course, you use it in conjunction with a Gentoo |
| 19 |
minimal installation CD as can be picked up on any Gentoo mirror, and |
| 20 |
simply follow the Gentoo Handbook, using the above mentioned stage3 |
| 21 |
tarball instead of one of Gentoo's official i486 or i686 ones. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The stage3 is current portage-wise as of today, and if I actually see |
| 24 |
people downloading it in the FTP logs I will update it on a regular |
| 25 |
basis (probably not weekly as is the case with the official Gentoo |
| 26 |
tarballs, but at least once a month). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
DISCLAIMER: Although I believe the provided stage3 tarball to work |
| 29 |
just fine, it has not been thoroughly tested, so use at your own risk |
| 30 |
and report any problems you encounter to me. There shouldn't really be |
| 31 |
any, but who knows! ;-) |
| 32 |

Greetings, |
