If I understand that correctly, using the stage3 tarball will give me a |
| 23 |
fully functioning system from binaries, but I can convert that in one |
| 24 |
fell swoop into sources by re-emerging everything, saving me the hassle |
| 25 |
of the bootstrap. Of course, a trojan horse could be in that tarball |
| 26 |
and squirrel itself away ... but then, I'm not supporting Fort Knox, |
| 27 |
either... that'll save some work ;-) |
