Following the instructions for installing from a stage 1 tarball, the wording "bootstrap.sh will build binutils, gcc, gettext, and glibc, rebuilding binutils, gcc, and gettext after glibc. Needless to say, this process takes a while. Have a nice nap. Once this process completes, your system will be equivalent to a "stage2" system, which means you can skip the rest of the stage installs, and move onto final installation." is found. The final sentence is incorrect, and led me to believe that I did not have to follow the steps for a stage 2 or 3 installation. I believe that the wording on the web page should be changed, as one cannot "skip the rest of the stage installs".
I have previously changed this, check the current web documentation. //zhen
