Yes, effectively it's the same thing. In both cases (Stage1 or Stage3 |
| 12 |
+ emerge -e system) you've built every package yourself. Starting with |
| 13 |
Stage3 gives you a usable system right at the start, while with Stage1 |
| 14 |
you need to spend a fairly large amount of time getting the system |
| 15 |
ready. |

Also, if you start with Stage3, you may not even need to rebuild the |
| 18 |
installed packages, as if it's been a little while since the Stage3 |
| 19 |
image was created, there will be new versions of everything, so you'd |
| 20 |
be rebuilding when you do a 'emerge -u system' anyways. |
