Depends on what you've used to build the Gentoo machine. Mandrake is compiled for i586 and portable between all CPUs/archs above it (AMD and x86). If you want Gentoo to be portable, use i686 in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. don't use specific optimizations (as Pentium3 or athlon-xp) and be wary of using CPU specific extension in USE flags, like 3dnow and sse. As for chipsets, if special support is needed in the kernel for them, make sure the kernel built in the original machine supports the chipset of the new one. -- Meir Kriheli MKsoft systems http://www.mksoft.co.il ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
