If you have the time before the transition, you could set CFLAGS to something really generic, like -mcpu=i586 and emerge -e system, as well as recompiling the kernel. Then move the disks over. That way, you'll know that your toolchain and portage will work, which is all you need to get everything else going. -- Neil Bothwick If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?
