Bugzilla Bug 48687

I had just unzipped the stage 2 pentium III tarball on a pentium III machine. 
In the handbook I contiuned along until I came to the 'emerge system' command. 
There were about 64 packages that had to be downloaded and installed.  On the
second or third package, it was installing files into the /usr/lib/perl5
directory.  Before it was able to complete and go onto the next package there
was a message proclaiming that I needed perl 5 on my system to install it.  The
compiler or packager stopped.  I then went into my /etc/make.conf file and
removed perl from the USE flag variable.  I ran 'emerge system' again and it
continued on past the perl library package and installed properly.  I don't
know if this is supposed to happen or if this is a bug, however, it seems you
cannot put the perl USE flag into /etc/make.conf on a stage 2 installation
before emerge system is completed.

Wranglers - please reassign this. This is a livecd/buildcd issue, not a perl
issue.

Obsolete bug. Please reopen if it still does not work with 2005.1 stage2.
