| 13 | Last fall I installed a K6 200MHz amd system with |
| 14 | 256 M of ram from a 2005 cd. It took a couple of days |
| 15 | to compile everything, but the stage one install was |
| 16 | successful and it's a firewall today. |

| 18 | My suggestions would be to stip the USE flags down to the |
| 19 | minimum you need. |
