Hi everyone.<br><br>Just one simple question :<br>Let&#39;s say I want to use a base official gentoo stage3 to build a stage4 with catalyst.<br>Let&#39;s say I wrote my own profile, which defines a very very minimal system with no gcc, no portage, ..., and that I use this profile for stage4.<br>

If I use catalyst stage4 spec file type, which takes a stage3 as a seed, would my stage4 contains everything from stage3 (that I don&#39;t explicitely remove), or would my stage4 be built from scratch by stage3 (and contains just system ports my stage4 profile specified) ?<br>

<br>The same question goes for livecd.<br>Would my final livecd contain stage3 or livecd-stage1 build tools if I define a minimal system profile for livecd-stage2 ?<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Pierre.<br>
