I figured that since the developers > thought it was best to use a Stage3 install then why not give it a shot. I read your message and was surprised at this. Last time I read the handbooks the Handbook gave stage 1/2/3 options and the 2005.1 handbook stuck to stage 3. (Talking x86 here, I have never done an instal on other architectures). Now, like you, I read this in the Handbook: "Make sure you download a stage3 tarball - installations using a stage1 or stage2 tarball are not supported anymore." WTF?
