67 +<title>How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball?</title>
68 +<body>
69 +
70 +<p>
71 +The Gentoo Handbook only describes a Gentoo installation using a stage3 tarball.
72 +However, Gentoo still provides stage1 and stage2 tarballs. This is for
73 +development purposes (the Release Engineering team starts from a stage1 tarball
74 +to obtain a stage3) but shouldn't be used by users: a stage3 tarball can very
75 +well be used to bootstrap the system. You do need a working Internet connection.
76 +</p>
77 +
78 +<p>
79 +Bootstrapping means building the toolchain (the C library and compiler) for
80 +your system after which you install all core system packages. To bootstrap the
81 +system, perform a stage3 installation. Before you start the chapter on
82 +<e>Configuring the Kernel</e>, modify the <path>bootstrap.sh</path> script to
83 +suit your needs and then run it:
84 +</p>
85 +
86 +<pre caption="Bootstrapping the system">
87 +# <i>cd /usr/portage/scripts</i>
88 +# <i>vi bootstrap.sh</i>
89 +
90 +# <i>./bootstrap.sh</i>
91 +</pre>
92 +
93 +<p>
94 +Next, rebuild all core system packages with the newly built toolchain. We need
95 +to rebuild them since the stage3 tarball already offers them:
96 +</p>
97 +
98 +<pre caption="Rebuilding the core system packages">
99 +# <i>emerge -e system</i>
100 +</pre>
101 +
102 +<p>
103 +Now you can continue with <e>Configuring the Kernel</e>. You can not use the
104 +prebuilt GRP packages anymore though.
