Because the whole point of a stage 1 is that you make it specific to |
| 10 |
your cpu yourself (there's no athlon-xp, pentuim3, or pentium4 stage 1 |
| 11 |
tarballs either)? |

|

There are only cpu-specific stage 2 and stage 3 tarballs, because a |
| 14 |
stage 2 is 'semi-compiled' (thus already cpu-specific) and a stage 3 is |
| 15 |
almost fully compiled (ditto). A stage 1 is completely uncompiled, so it |
| 16 |
can't really be specific to a cpu, beyond a general architecture setting |
| 17 |
(x86 |
| 18 |
as opposed to ppc, or amd64, for example). |
