Gentoo install question!!

following above instructions but cant seem to find Asong post about dont skip this step.

Great Link from Gentoo Wiki! I believe it will be useful on this forum.

I'd like to add couple of things to this.

1.st, in the above instructions, DO NOT skip this portion:


Quote
CFLAGS="-mcpu=G5 -O2 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing"
CHOST="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

MAKEOPTS="-j2"

USE="altivec nptl nptlonly"


This is extremely important in making sure that your compilation environment will run in the most optimal way currently known. I am sure it will improve, but this is best so far. Also for beginners like myself, follow these directions for more detailed steps for partitioning. This was copied from another forum...

I have read and re-read and can't seem to find this step either in the tutorial posted here or the official install.
Can anyone shed some light as to where this step is supposed to be entered
Thanks

This would indeed be very good to insert on your new install.

U forgot to mention this belongs in the /etc/make.conf file on the new install, and u should best put it in after u have chroot'ed and have updated the enviroment. For new gentoo users it might be good to have a look at what the USE flags are, they are a very cool and vital part of the system. The rest probably shouldnt be touched in this file.
