[edit] Getting Started
You will most likely want to start a stage1 install. This won't take as long as you think running on a 64-bit Turion with 512MB of ram. So anyways the first thing you will want to do is get the AMD64 Minimal Install CD. This is not only a small download but well, it's built for a 64-bit env. Anyways, installing Gentoo from stage1 to stage3 is a bit beyond the scope of this document so I will leave you to it, but I would like to leave you with a few pointers!
You may want to take a quick look at my make.conf. If you want to run in a native 64-bit environment you need to have your CFLAGS and CHOST setup properly.
| File: /etc/make.conf |
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="3dnow 3dnowext acpi mmx mmxext multilib nptl nptlonly sse sse2"

[edit] Incomplete 08/16/2005
So for I have been able to get these things up and running:
- Wireless (Broadcom 4318) - using ndiswrapper
- 3d (semi-)acceleration (Xpress 200m) - ati 8.16.20 drivers from ati's website
- CPU Frequency Scaling (ACPI) - Governors: ondemand, conservation and powersave
- Bluetooth works really nice - supported in the Kernel and Bluez-Util
Most stuff is supported, although it was rough to find a driver that worked with the broadcom 4318. The only thing I am having issues with is the FN function keys since they freeze the machine when used... mmm... will work on that later. Any questions just post to discussion.
