I don't know if it's the correct list, but I did it as follows to
compile a pentium optimized system:

I plugged in the 4GB hdd of my Pentium system, created the file systems,
setup a chroot environment and did the whole gentoo install from there.
worked like a charm, which was pretty good since I don't have a keyboard
on my Pentium system. It's pretty straightforward, and shouldn't give
any problems. Remember to set the make.conf correctly.

cheers,
 Timo
