OK. That makes sense, sort of. How do the people that make the stage3 |
| 28 |
tarball do it? When I extract a stage3 tarball, it doesn't have |
| 29 |
/mnt/gentoo on it at all. Are they using a "dedicated" install to build |
| 30 |
those tarballs on? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Also, since I want it to ignore /mnt/gentoo, wouldn't I have to use |
| 33 |
--strip=2 to remove both /mnt and the /gentoo after that? Just trying |
| 34 |
to make sure I understand this correctly. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I would like to do this on the creating part if possible. |
