On the subject of CPU flags, anyone tried optimizing gentoo for a Toshiba Libretto (110CT)? how do I determine which of the stage3 installation files: stage3-athlon-xp-2005.0.tar.bz2 stage3-i686-2005.0.tar.bz2 stage3-pentium3-2005.0.tar.bz2 stage3-pentium4-2005.0.ta

Optimization level 9 (-O9)? Thats a laugh. Read the GCC man page, the optimization levels are just groupings of other optimization flags (-O1, -O2, -O3, -O0, -Os), with optimization level 3 (-O3) containing the most optimization flags. The numbers don't correlate to any kind of optimization
