Regardless of using binary packages, there's a number of small dependencies which need to be compiled even with stage 3 if Im not mistaken [which I could be...] > If I was going to do it in less than an hour, I'd use the > install media to install from, including the Kernel, and I'd install X and > KDE from packages.

On the aKademy cluster it proved usefull to use only "-O2", otherwise there are often internal compiler errors, if not all computers have the same processor type/version that kinda blows...
