I did a stage 3 install and then did a emerge -ev world. I must admit though, I did actually read the manual several times before I started my install. I usually don't read the directions but hey, I didn't know crap about Gentoo, don't know much crap now either. :/ Some may need the option for a stage 1 but unless you are on one slow rig, emerge -ev world shortly after booting your new stable kernel shouldn't take to long then install everything else. Wouldn't that make everyone happy? Shouldn't that also give some devs some time to work on others things as well? Getting a sync past 50% with slowing to a crawl would be nice. Plenty of people complaining about that. Don't beat me to much OK. Be gentle. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
