Your own.. from scratch, or merely a packaging of the changes you tend |
| 16 |
to make to the base stage3 when you start a build? From scratch, I |
| 17 |
believe the tool you're looking for is called catalyst (see link [1] |
| 18 |
below). Otherwise, all a stage3 is... in the long run... is a tarred |
| 19 |
up copy of a system without anything mounted (no proc, dev, sys, etc). |
| 20 |
A common thing many people tend to do is oft referred to as a 'stage4' |
| 21 |
(link [2]), in which they merely make all their changes, install their |
| 22 |
choice software, and then archive the whole pristine build before |
| 23 |
going on with actual use of the system. |
