- A stage1 file contains nothing more than a compiler, Portage (Gentoo's

- or Portage depends.

- A stage2 file contains a so-called bootstrapped system, a minimal
- environment from which one can start building all other necessary

- A stage3 file contains a prebuilt minimal system which is almost fully

-<title>A Stage1 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage1</e> is used when you want to bootstrap and build the entire system
-from scratch.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Starting from a stage1 allows you to have total control over the
-optimization settings and optional build-time functionality that is
-initially enabled on your system. This makes <e>stage1</e> installs good for
-power users who know what they are doing. It is also a great
-installation method for those who would like to know more about the
-inner workings of Gentoo Linux.

-<title>A Stage2 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage2</e> is used for building the entire system from a bootstrapped
-"semi-compiled" state.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Stage2 installs allow you to skip the bootstrap process; doing this
-is fine if you are happy with the optimization settings that we chose
-for your particular stage2 tarball.

- <th>+</th>

-</subsection>
-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage3 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage3</e> installation contains a basic Gentoo Linux system that has been
-built for you. You will only need to build a few packages of which we can't
-decide for you which one to choose.
