3. If you fiddle with USE flags, /etc/package.* files, etc, you can
get the effect of a customized stage1 install by recompiling
everything twice. I suspect simply
emerge -e world; emerge -e world
3A. Only a few items really need to be compiled the first time.
3B. There are scripts in the forums to do this "automatically".
I installed gentoo on a dual Opteron box this weekend, I've always done
stage1 installs, but this time decided to try the recommeded stage3 method.
I understand the concept of doing an "emerge -e world" in order to get the
optimization of a stage1 install, and I've done this ( one time ) on the
install I just completed. Can sombody explain why it's necessary/desirable
to do this *twice*?
What real difference does the second execution really make?
Thanks,
Bob Young
