-<title>The Gentoo Installation Approaches</title>
-<subsection>
-<title>Introduction</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-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.
-</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>
-To help you decide what stage file you want to use, we have written down the
-major advantages and disadvantages of each stage file.
-</p>
-
-</body>
-</subsection>
-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage1 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage1</e> is used when you want to bootstrap and build the entire system 
-from scratch.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-This approach builds core system packages that are vital to your system and is
-used by Gentoo developers to prepare the Gentoo release media. It is a great
-installation method for those who would like to learn more about the inner
-workings of bootstrapping, toolchains and the like.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-However, if you do not plan to tweak the bootstrapping instructions in the
-<path>bootstrap.sh</path> script written by the Gentoo developers, then a 
-stage1 approach has no benefits for you.

-<title>A Stage2 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage2</e> is used for building the entire system from a bootstrapped
-"semi-compiled" state.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-When you perform a stage2 installation approach, you will build all system
-packages (core packages, including toolchain) using your specific <c>USE</c>, 
-<c>CFLAGS</c> and <c>CXXFLAGS</c> settings. Any package build will therefore be
-optimized to your preference.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-However, this installation takes some time and if you do not intend to change
-the <c>CFLAGS</c> and <c>CXXFLAGS</c> settings that we have defined as a "good
-default", using this approach only makes sense if your <c>USE</c> variable is
-sufficiently different from the default <c>USE</c> we provide.

-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage3 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage3</e> installation contains a basic Gentoo Linux system that has been
-built for you. You will only need to build a few packages (such as system
-logger, networking tools, ...) before you can boot into a base Gentoo
-installation.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Choosing to go with a stage3 allows for the fastest install of Gentoo
-Linux, but also means that your base system will have the optimization
-settings that we chose for you (which to be honest, are good settings
-and were carefully chosen to enhance performance while maintaining
-stability). Stage3 is also required if you want to install Gentoo using
-prebuilt packages or without a network connection.

-<title>The Gentoo Installation Approaches</title>
-<subsection>
-<title>Introduction</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-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.
-</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>
-To help you decide what stage file you want to use, we have written down the
-major advantages and disadvantages of each stage file.

-<title>A Stage1 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage1</e> is used when you want to bootstrap and build the entire system 
-from scratch.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-This approach builds core system packages that are vital to your system and is
-used by Gentoo developers to prepare the Gentoo release media. It is a great
-installation method for those who would like to learn more about the inner
-workings of bootstrapping, toolchains and the like.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-However, if you do not plan to tweak the bootstrapping instructions in the

-stage1 approach has no benefits for you.

-<title>The Gentoo Installation Approaches</title>
-<subsection>
-<title>Introduction</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-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.
-</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>
-To help you decide what stage file you want to use, we have written down the
-major advantages and disadvantages of each stage file.
-</p>
-
-</body>
-</subsection>
-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage1 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage1</e> is used when you want to bootstrap and build the entire system 
-from scratch.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-This approach builds core system packages that are vital to your system and is
-used by Gentoo developers to prepare the Gentoo release media. It is a great
-installation method for those who would like to learn more about the inner
-workings of bootstrapping, toolchains and the like.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-However, if you do not plan to tweak the bootstrapping instructions in the
-<path>bootstrap.sh</path> script written by the Gentoo developers, then a 
-stage1 approach has no benefits for you. 
-</p>

-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage2 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage2</e> is used for building the entire system from a bootstrapped
-"semi-compiled" state.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-When you perform a stage2 installation approach, you will build all system
-packages (core packages, including toolchain) using your specific <c>USE</c>, 
-<c>CFLAGS</c> and <c>CXXFLAGS</c> settings. Any package build will therefore be
-optimized to your preference.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-However, this installation takes some time and if you do not intend to change
-the <c>CFLAGS</c> and <c>CXXFLAGS</c> settings that we have defined as a "good
-default", using this approach only makes sense if your <c>USE</c> variable is
-sufficiently different from the default <c>USE</c> we provide.
-</p>
-
-<table>
-<tr>
-  <th>Stage2</th>
-  <th>Pros and Cons</th>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-  <th>+</th>
-  <ti>You don't need to bootstrap</ti>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-  <th>+</th>
-  <ti>Faster than starting with stage1</ti>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-  <th>+</th>
-  <ti>You can still tweak your settings</ti>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-  <th>-</th>
-  <ti>It's still not the fastest way to install Gentoo</ti>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-  <th>-</th>
-  <ti>
-    Requires a working Internet connection during the installation
-  </ti>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-</body>
-</subsection>
-<subsection>
-<title>A Stage3 Approach</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-A <e>stage3</e> installation contains a basic Gentoo Linux system that has been
-built for you. You will only need to build a few packages (such as system
-logger, networking tools, ...) before you can boot into a base Gentoo
-installation.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Choosing to go with a stage3 allows for the fastest install of Gentoo
-Linux, but also means that your base system will have the optimization
-settings that we chose for you (which to be honest, are good settings
-and were carefully chosen to enhance performance while maintaining
-stability). Stage3 is also required if you want to install Gentoo using
-prebuilt packages or without a network connection.
