Take a look here: |

Well then that settles it. I have old stage3 files for i586 I saved |
| 20 |
from years ago, but, I think they are hard to find and not |
| 21 |
maintained or updated, at least not that I could find on the |
| 22 |
mirrors I looked. |

So this is what you are suggesting?: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" |
| 28 |
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" |
| 29 |
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" |
| 30 |
USE="-* -nls ncurses ssl crypt berkdb perl pcre \ |
| 31 |
python readline zlib bzip2 nptl nptlonly syslog" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
And use these downloads? |
| 34 |
portage-20101121.tar.bz2 stage3-i486-20101116.tar.bz2 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Recall I have p1,p2,p3 and p4, as well as geode lx |
| 37 |
based systems. |
