I try to keep a "up to date" stage 4 tarball here in my system just in

there, then chroot in and create a stage 4 tarball.
I don't understand how this creates a stage4 of your system.
How EXACTLY are you creating the stage4, please? What guide are you
following?
When I have in the past created a backup stage4 (which I have to admit
I've never needed to test), I have used a stage4.exclude file like
that described at [1], then used the tar command specified there.

Either I'm confused, or I expect the remainder of the thread to be
confused because the basic premise of what you're trying to do has not
been clearly defined.
Stroller.
