Stage1: Changing CHOST= and run ./bootstrap.sh (well you can do it but it's dumb) Stage3: has full cxx/berkdb/ssl/pam/libwrap and all the cruft pulled in from having use flags enabled thats not easy to get rid of otherwise. I don't care what you do with the docs, but the stages 1, 3 need to stay. stage2 has always been a bonus stage more or less added into the mix cuz it's a byproduct of stage building (pre catalyst days). -- solar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
