Stage3 offers everything that a Stage1 does, it's just faster. |

Especially on those 500 Mhz systems, I'd use the Stage3. If you really |
| 16 |
must build every package by hand, use the Stage3 install, and then do |
| 17 |
a 'emerge -e system'. This will cause it to rebuild every package. On |
| 18 |
those systems though, unless you're using distcc or a cross-compiler |
| 19 |
on a faster system, stick with the Stage3 install so you don't spend |
| 20 |
24+ hours bootstrapping. |
