IIRC, they were removed because being in the official handbook, people used them. Then caused endless traffic on endless forums and lists when they did it wrong (mostly because they didn't know enough yet about the process and followed bad ricing advice). The stage 1 and 2 tarballs are still available - I used them recently to build a custom stage 3 with catalyst, and the stage 1/2 install pages are still available in an archive somewhere. So they're not gone, just hard to find for those still finding their way around. Which is probably not a bad thing overall IMHO -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
