14 This is a fresh install from a minimal cd image.  I'm starting out with
15 mkfs.  I've tried that 3 times, twice using a stage 3 from 2020/01/08
16 and once using a stage 3 from 2020/01/12.

18 Thus, in answer to your question, yes, I've always removed the portage
19 tree (and everything else).

21 I've always used emerge --sync rather than webrsync because I always
22 like to use the smallest hammer possible.  But if you say I should use
23 webrsync rather than emerge --sync, I have no other hint.
