If you fiddle with USE flags, /etc/package.* files, etc, you can get the effect of a customized stage1 install by recompiling everything twice. I suspect simply emerge -e world; emerge -e world 3A. Only a few items really need to be compiled the first time. 3B. There are scripts in the forums to do this "automatically". I installed gentoo on a dual Opteron box this weekend, I've always done stage1 installs, but this time decided to try the recommeded stage3 method. I understand the concept of doing an "emerge -e world" in order to get the optimization of a stage1 install, and I've done this ( one time ) on the install I just completed. Can sombody explain why it's necessary/desirable to do this *twice*? What real difference does the second execution really make? Thanks, Bob Young -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
