Note that nobody is forcing you to use any install method. If you |
| 12 |
fancy stage 1 installs... go for it. The stages are still updated and |
| 13 |
available on the mirrors. But as Nick said, it is slower. |

Also if you don't remember all the commands and you still want to do |
| 16 |
stage 1 I would recommend this doc [1], its the old x86 quickstart |
| 17 |
guide, the new one has been "expanded" (aka crapped up) to the point |
| 18 |
that it is no longer a quickstart guide but rather a |
| 19 |
handbook-in-two-pages. |

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. |
