-Gentoo Linux can be installed using one of three <e>stage</e> tarball files. A
-stage file is a tarball (compressed archive) that contains a minimal
-environment.
+Gentoo Linux can be installed using a <e>stage3</e> tarball file.
+Such a tarball is an archive that contains a minimal environment from
+which you can succesfully install Gentoo Linux onto your system.
</p>
-<ul>
- <li>
- A stage1 file contains nothing more than a compiler, Portage (Gentoo's
- software management system) and a couple of packages on which the
- compiler or Portage depends.
- </li>
- <li>
- A stage2 file contains a so-called bootstrapped system, a minimal
- environment from which one can start building all other necessary
- applications that make a Gentoo environment complete.
- </li>
- <li>
- A stage3 file contains a prebuilt minimal system which is almost fully
- deployable. It only lacks a few applications where you, the Gentoo user,
- needs to choose which one you want to install.
- </li>
-</ul>
-
<p>
-We will opt for a stage3 installation throughout this document. If you want to
-perform a Gentoo installation using the stage1 or stage2 files, please use the
-installation instructions in the <uri
-link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml">Gentoo Handbook</uri>. They do
-require a working Internet connection though.
+Installations using a stage1 or stage2 tarball file are not documented in the
+Gentoo Handbook - please read the <uri link="/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12">Gentoo
+FAQ</uri> on these matters.
