That's exactly what I did with my laptop. It arrived at 1pm and I needed it fully functional for the next morning, so I did a Stage 3 install in a little over an hour (including compiling the kernel). I then emerged KDE and some other essentials from a package CD and it was fine. When I had time, I set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~ppc, fiddled with my USE flags and did update -uavDN world, which recompiled just about everything, giving me the same as if I'd done stage 1 to start with, except I had a usable computer in far less time. -- Neil Bothwick If a stealth bomber crashes in a forest, will it make a sound?
