By mistake I nuked my make.conf file what should I...

I was trying to
Code:

echo CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=\"/etc/wget /etc/rc.d\" > /etc/make.conf

I was trying to use the >> instead of > now I screwed up my make.conf file.

Is there a way to recover it or can some one help me rewrite this.

Please I am a noob and this is the first install of Gentoo I have ever done.

Just ask I can supply the info to write it I just don't remember what to add.

If, you haven't written it again, check the directory for a file called make.conf~ :-D
You may have to start over, but then keep a backup, or three.

I did find a way to recover my make.conf but it's not complete.

This is what I have so if any one can help me see if I am missing anything.

The way I recovered it was I went through the Gentoo manual and typed up some of that and found some other tutorials and came up with this.

Code:

CFLAGS="-march=native -02 -pipe"

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

MAKEOPTS="-j3 -l2"

USE="X gdu gtk usb -gnome -qt4 -cups -kde -qt3 -bluetooth dvdr esd eds alsa cdr"

CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/wget /etc/rc.d"

XUSE="truetype X new-login xorg xscreensaver xv xcomposite xinerama opengl aiglx"

IMAGEUSE="jpeg gif tiff png svg pdf"

MEDIAUSE="alsa mad vidix asf win32codecs dvd mp4 aac x264 xvid nsplugin mp3 real gstreamer"

GENERAL="samba java bzip2 symlink sqlite spell xml"

SYSTEM="hal fam dbus aoss threads"

NOTUSE="-arts -qt4 -ipv6"

KDEUSE="-kde -qt3"

GNOMEUSE="policykit device-mapper extras gdu gtk cairo glitz gnome firefox"

VIDEO_CARDS="intel"

USE="${NOTUSE} ${SYSTEM} ${GENERAL} ${IMAGEUSE} ${XUSE} ${KDEUSE} ${MEDIAUSE} ${GNOMEUSE}"

I am hoping to get rid of gnome and go with lxde, but thats another thread for another topic.

Have a look at make.conf example.

Well,

Code:

FEATURES="ccache distcc"

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard synaptics evdev"

CCACHE_SIZE="3G"

as an example.

This is what I know have in my make.conf after recovery and adding some new flags. I have a 64 bit system the "32bit" thing is for wine I think.

Code:

CFLAGS="-march=native -pipe"

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

MAKEOPTS="-j3 -l2"

USE="32bit X aac aiglx alsa aoss asf bzip2 cairo dbus device-mapper dhcpcd dvd
