Gentoo:fluxbox


im in the middle of a Gentoo install (emerge sync wont freaking act right at the moment).

the question is, does Gentoo have an emerge fluxbox option? I dont want KDE or Gnome. If not, i'd happily install it myself, but emerge would be much nicer.

actually your not sposed to ignore that update you use "emerge -u system" it takes about 3 hours to do though but it updates alot of stuff.

cant get the bootstrap part to work I think it's a problem with my memory or something tho because I was having problems compiling the kernel in Red Hat. It errors out after a while.

Also, if anyone has a nice make.conf file for an athlon (not athlon-xp) i'd like to see the CFLAGS used. As it stands i have -mcpu=i686 -march=i686. I know GSS 3.2 (or something) can handle -march=athlon or something but how do i know what version of gcc i'll have when it's done? I don't see how to specify.

You'll have gcc 3.2.3
See /etc/make.conf for further details about CFLAGS.There isn't much sense in getting crazy with the flags mcpu or march=your processor and -O2 or -O3 and -pipe are normally sufficient.
You'll might want to emerge ufed to setup the USE flags and mirrorselect for the best download speed early in the process.

mirrorselect didnt workout too great but i have a good connection, at one point during emerge sync my connection was going down and it kept trying to find mirrors, turns out my school is a mirror, but ne way.

that clears up a me wanting to put -march=athlon. just have to go get a memory stick.
