Assuming you keep all distfiles you already downloaded (which some |
| 11 |
people do, like me). So you'd just need stage 1, nothing else. |

Maybe that does not justify keeping stage1 (imho not even though |
| 13 |
it's useful for me), but it _is_ answering your intial question. ;-) |

Btw, if i use stage 3 and then emerge -e world to recompile my whole |
| 16 |
system with -omg-optimized i assume stage 3 may lose against stage 1 |
| 17 |
and compiling -omg-optimized from the beginning. Not that it makes |
| 18 |
much sense to do that though. |
