That argument is not too good. The difference between stage3 and stage1 |
| 18 |
in terms of learning is this: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# you uncompress the stage, like you'd do with stage3 |
| 21 |
# then the portage snapshot |
| 22 |
$ cd /usr/portage/scripts |
| 23 |
$ ./bootstrap.sh |
| 24 |
# wait |
| 25 |
$ emerge -e system |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Now, you are at stage3 (if all went ok, which is often not the case). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So, besides wasting your time, there is no point (even for learning |
| 30 |
purposes) on doing a stage1 install. If you want to learn something |
| 31 |
about the build process of a linux distro go and use linux from |
| 32 |
scratch. The snippet above (actually 3 commands) is all you will learn |
| 33 |
form stage1. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Of course, if you get some trouble in the way you will have to learn |
| 36 |
some more things, but, first, that is not supposed to happen, and |
| 37 |
second, it is not the best way to learn, cause it often leads to |
| 38 |
frustration. |
