For the most part, they should be correct. I would ask for everyone to |
7 |
hold off, since we just made some critical updates with the snapshot and |
8 |
catalyst, as the -pre1 release for x86 (and any other arches) was broken |
9 |
when it came to GRP packages. Performing a networkless install using |
10 |
only stage3 + distfiles + portage snapshot should be fine, but using any |
11 |
of the GRP packages is known broken. We are working on another |
12 |
pre-release for x86 as we speak, and I believe that other arches are |
13 |
doing the same. |

Well, there will be a few changes, as we fixed some of the bugs with |
24 |
2005.0 that required documentation changes, such as the distfiles for |
25 |
coldplug being missing from the universal CD. |
