[microcode necessary?]

Is it necessary to install microcode stuff?

 

I see this available, but nothing seems to be available for AMD processors....

sys-apps/microcode-ctl  (Intel processor microcode utility)

and

sys-apps/microcode-data  (Intel IA32 microcode update date)

 

thanks

Thanks, and how do you prefer to be addressed in the forums?

 

See

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/CFLAGS

and

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Safe_CFLAGS

for more information.

Clarification: doco = documentation

takes us to ...

http://www.funtoo.org/Subarches

Let's say you have a core2_64 chip, so from the Subarches page you'd go to http://www.funtoo.org/Core2_64

 

See http://www.funtoo.org/Installation_%28Tutorial%29

 

edit /etc/make.conf

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

 

CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" <-- as per http://www.funtoo.org/Core2_64

CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"  <-- as per http://www.funtoo.org/Installation_%28Tutorial%29

 

Which is the best CFLAG option to use?

Can we please edit the appropriate web page to be consistent?

 

Thanks! danielv

[forum search?]

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=layman+site%3Aforums.funtoo.org shows about a dozen results, whereas the forum search returns nothing (I searched the individual sections).... I already went to Custom, Time Frame: Show All; and Update Filter /Remember filters. Any ideas?

 

Thanks, danielv
