Yeah, my phrasing was lousy (which I noted in another e-mail, but I doubt you had time to see it before replying to this one). > > The point is that following the proper steps, one *can* get the exact > same output.

All I really want to do is ensure that we preserve our users' ability to tinker with system without making life too painful for them. Starting from a stage 1 it was obvious how to do such tinkering. I would argue that it's not quite as obvious how to do that when starting from a stage 3, so a bit of additional documentation on how to do that would be nice. If that were done, then I would have no complaints about the stage 1 and stage 2 tarballs going away altogether. *Shrug* -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
