The first time I've installed Gentoo I've started from Stage1 and
following step by step the handbook (and the Gentoo forum) I didn't
have any problem.. Some of my friends, to which I suggested to use
Gentoo, had some problems, but because they didn't follow the handbook
very well.. So, I think that Stage1 and Stage2 are not really a
problem, even for a Gentoo newbie. By the way, this is just my opinion

The Gentoo Release Engineering team is pushing us to remove stage1 and<br>stage2 references from the Gentoo Handbook. They are getting too many errors<br>because the user is not able to fully comprehend the implications of a
<br>stage1 or stage2 installation.<br><br>This does surprise me, either because it seems rather simple to me, or<br>because I don't understand it myself (in which case we need(ed) better<br>information regarding the subject).
<br><br>In any case, bug #105809 contains a small patch (95K, 3165 lines, mostly<br>duplicates for architecture-specific chapters that do contain<br>cross-architecture information) that attempts to move stage1/2 references to
<br>a FAQ in the Gentoo FAQ.<br><br>I'd appreciate any feedback on the patch and possible enhancements. Please,<br>do not provide patches for the patch but rather a new patch. Thanks.<br><br>Wkr,<br> Sven Vermeulen<br>
