If you want a 32-bit platform, then you want the i686 stage3 and an x86 iso.

Look at the Safe CFLAGS site to find out details about your processor.

Hi stepette,
For 32 bits you'll want to d/l ftp://............/releases/x86/current-stage3.
For /etc/make.conf CFLAGS you can use -march=native.
This will let gcc take care of the right processor instruction set.
If you compile your kernel by hand you'll be offered to indicate processor family.

May I ask why you prefer 32 bits over 64?
Gerard.

thanks a lot ! gerard82 and John R. Graham
to answering `May I ask why you prefer 32 bits over 64?` ....FOR THE STABILITY everything works well on 32 bits systemes
so i am not a god in linux and far of that , but this is what i saw before and compare to 64 bits. :roll:

anyway , i still want to find out which are the cflags result for my processor after installation?

so i will use : (For /etc/make.conf CFLAGS you can use -march=native.
This will let gcc take care of the right processor instruction set.
If you compile your kernel by hand you'll be offered to indicate processor family. )

THANKS GUYS!

I have been running 64 bit multilib for years,no instability.
Most software (>95%) is now 64/32 bits.
If you have more than 3GB RAM 64 bit is preferred.
