They must've rewritten the man page in the last 2 or 3 months since I've been using Gentoo.

I often use `emerge -u world --deep`, which is more comprehensive that `emerge -u world` but less so than `emerge -eu world`. >> And does a stage 3 install have all the required source code to recompile >> everything? If it doesn't, then Portage will download it. If previous posts have not already answered your question, then I recently made a stage3 install. Then once I had booted the system for the first time, I optimised my flags in make.conf (from the examples at http://tinyurl.com/dpzi ) and then ran `emerge -e world`. I believe this to have given me as highly optimised system as most, without the hassle of a long install time. HTH, Stroller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
