Hi there, |

I've been trying to resurrect some alpha boxen I have, and discover |
| 4 |
that the current gentoo stage1 doesn't work. It seems that portage |
| 5 |
changes under the bootstrap script and makes it barf, as well as an |
| 6 |
error message about SLOTMOVE confusing some things. I posted a message |
| 7 |
in the forums under Alternate Architectures. |

Luckily I had one box that was still running gentoo so I've updated |
| 10 |
that, after much mucking about. So now, I'd like to build a useable |
| 11 |
stage1, so started to look at catalyst, but it seems to be have a |
| 12 |
circular dependency like having a stage3 to start from, but I don't |
| 13 |
have a stage3 ... huh? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If i tared up my complete working system and called that a stage3, |
| 16 |
would that work ... or anyone in the know who can give me pointers |
| 17 |
about getting a useable stage1. |

Also, gentoo-alpha seems to have dropped off ... is it still active |
| 20 |
... judging from the state of no useable stage1, it looks not ... or |
| 21 |
is there some reason for this and people are working to rectify the |
| 22 |
situation. I'm happy to help. |

Cheers, |

Jonathan. |
