*Significantly* more software would be installed by default, including |
| 2 |
software that you might not want installed. But if you are going to |
| 3 |
maintain your own packages then it is best to have things standardized |
| 4 |
-- only one "version" (compiled by a single source) of a software |
| 5 |
package should be installed. Stage2 vs. Stage1 allows you to skip the |
| 6 |
bootstrapping script that takes a long time and does not support |
| 7 |
pre-compiled packages (-b or -g). |
