Assuming you keep all distfiles you already downloaded (which some people do, like me). So you'd just need stage 1, nothing else. Maybe that does not justify keeping stage1 (imho not even though it's useful for me), but it _is_ answering your intial question. ;-) Btw, if i use stage 3 and then emerge -e world to recompile my whole system with -omg-optimized i assume stage 3 may lose against stage 1 and compiling -omg-optimized from the beginning. Not that it makes much sense to do that though. cheers, Wernfried -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
