(Still in the > works?) Anyone have experience with this? Lately I installed a system with following config: AMD Athlon 600MhZ, ASUS K7M Motherboard 4xUSB AC97 Sound, 384MB SDRam, 2x IBM DPTA-353750 (Ultra DMA/66) 37.5 GB, Matrox Millennium G200 SD 16MB, Toshiba SD-W1111 DVD-Ram, Yamaha 6416S CD-RW SCSI-II, Iomega ZIP250 SCSI, Floppy 3,5, Microsoft IntelliMouse, Cherry Keyboard I did a make world (-current as of 20000215 or so) which took about a hour. I built the kernel with -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro (I'm not sure about it...) and everything works just fine.
