got it......did it and moving right along.
I'm embarrassed to say that I tried installing twice from a stage3 install 
yesterday and screwed it up by tinkering too much with the make.conf and 
some other things.
Trying again today by just going with most of the defaults and once I'm 
successful then I'll trash it and start digging deeper.

I would like to eventually strip everything out except what I absolutely 
want from a stage1 starting point.

thanks again for the help Scott,
Cleve
