Hi Folks!
Following situation:
My Mail- and Fileserver was running fine on a AMD k-6 2 (i586) for
Months. Then I decided to uppgrade the hardware.
Now it is running on a VIA C3 Samuel 500 Mhz with 512MB RAM. Everything
works just fine, although I just plugged the harddisk on the new System.
But the /etc/make.conf still includes the i586-K6-2 Stuff.
What is a secure to upgrade the software without losing data? Shall I
change the/etc/make.conf to i686 and just do an "emerge -e world"?
Any (better) ideas?

thanks!

Jasper

thanks for your help. That sounds good to me. Just wondering, why uname
shows a i686 cpu.
Do you have any recommendations for compiler flags to set in /etc/make.conf?

try `cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep flag` and then check in gcc manual which
ones are supported by compiler

pozdr. Aye
