I've done stage 2 w/o a network a couple of times already. All I do is Rsync the new install with the distfiles on my main gentoo laptop(box) and then also sync the portage tree and I'm all set. Not having I-net and still wanting to do stage 2 would be possible in the above scenerio, but take away stage 2 from the CD and I'm stucked with staage 3 > stage1 is so tiny it's not a waste to put on the CD. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
