I keep hearing this, isn't there a real difference between a stage 1 and |
| 10 |
a stage 3 install inasmuch as somebody who needs (or wants) to |
| 11 |
dramatically tailor what's in the system profile can choose to do so |
| 12 |
from a stage 1 or 2, but would have to remove packages after the fact if |
| 13 |
starting from a stage 3? I wouldn't have a problem with that, as long |
| 14 |
as we document it, but it just seems that the claim that the old and new |
| 15 |
methods produce _exactly_ the same results seems to be stretching things |
| 16 |
a bit. |
