It should be the case. it's not much different from doing a stage 3
install then changing USE flags etc. I've done that with no problems.
What went wrong when you tried this before, or was it a case of changing

However, Michael's point about starting afresh with a hardened setup is a
good one. It sounds much safer for a security box.
