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 |

and once using a stage 3 from 2020/01/12. |

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

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. |
