Note that nobody is forcing you to use any install method. If you fancy stage 1 installs... go for it. The stages are still updated and available on the mirrors. But as Nick said, it is slower. Also if you don't remember all the commands and you still want to do stage 1 I would recommend this doc [1], its the old x86 quickstart guide, the new one has been "expanded" (aka crapped up) to the point that it is no longer a quickstart guide but rather a handbook-in-two-pages.
