If you want the least amount of problems, yes. |

That completely depends on what you're doing. The big one is |
| 12 |
livecd-tools. However, it is so important, that we now force it on for |
| 13 |
livecd-stage1 builds. The only other one that I would say that you'll |
| 14 |
likely want/need will be coldplug/hwsetup. |

You should use a 2006.0 tarball only as a seed for your own stage1 |
| 25 |
tarball. When you use software that's 6 months old for your seed for |
| 26 |
livecd-stage1, you end up with way too many problems. |
