And, unless a fix has been discovered and applied, stage1 tarball doesn't contain any information about what packages own what files, so starting from stage 1 will leave a minimal amount of cruft in /usr (?and /var?). IIRC, I started from stage 1 on my first install (2004.3), but I wouldn't recommend anything other than stage 3 to anyone at this point, since there's now an established procedure for changing your CHOST if need be, and packages in system will eventually pick up any CFLAGS customizations gradually. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
