It *is* exactly the same. I keep hearing this, isn't there a real difference between a stage 1 and a stage 3 install inasmuch as somebody who needs (or wants) to dramatically tailor what's in the system profile can choose to do so =66rom a stage 1 or 2, but would have to remove packages after the fact if starting from a stage 3? I wouldn't have a problem with that, as long as we document it, but it just seems that the claim that the old and new methods produce _exactly_ the same results seems to be stretching things a bit. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --RASg3xLB4tUQ4RcS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDg12FptxxUuD2W3YRAqkdAJ4/UhmMsVtW8wb/s+ciSTZ25gkIMwCfbibV BNPlwjC7KQyDpxDWul5Y20E= =zVe+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RASg3xLB4tUQ4RcS-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
