How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The Gentoo Handbook only describes a Gentoo installation using a |
| 22 |
stage3 tarball. However, Gentoo still provides stage1 and stage2 |
| 23 |
tarballs. This is for development purposes (the Release Engineering |
| 24 |
team starts from a stage1 tarball to obtain a stage3) but shouldn't be |
| 25 |
used by users: a stage3 tarball can very well be used to bootstrap the |
| 26 |
system. You do need a working Internet connection. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It surprises me that release engineering starts with a stage1 to get a |
| 29 |
stage3 and then we use this stage3 to build a stage1. I mention this |
| 30 |
only out of curiosity; there is a stage3 with my desired CHOST and I |
| 31 |
expect to do all future installs starting with stage3 (I formerly used |
| 32 |
stage1). |
