Description Joe Millenbach 2004-01-31 15:08:53 UTC
Looking at the stage1-x86-20040128.tar.bz2 make.conf there are like 4 lines in it (versus the pages and pages worth of useful documentation in the previous version).  Why was this changed?  I felt that was a good location for the information, to help newbies when they try to adjust that file.  I realize there is probably documentation elsewhere on these settings.  But finding that documentation would be harder than just having it there to begin with.

Reproducible: Always

There was a similar bug in the db, but they marked it as resolved - fixed.  I 
couldn't reactivate it so I created this new bug (the other bug is #38222).
