Bart, Looking at section 12 of the install documents, one is led to believe that upon doing everything in that section, one is at the equivalent of stage 3. This is a little misleading, because our stage3 tarballs currently contain: sysklogd, metalog, vcron and xfs-progs Those four are mentioned in steps 14 and 15. I think we should try and harmonise stage 3 to the current documentation. My thought is to remove those things from stage 3 to make it more consistent. What do you think?
stage3 infact contains "dcron" and not "vcron"
i like the definition of section12 which says something like "now you have a stage3". this is a point where you still can select what syslogger, cron and kernel you prefer... adding that to the delivered stage3 tarballs is nice for ppl to get their system up fast and minimize needed internet access. this idea is fine too. so if we would deliver a stage3 as section12 state of the system and a kind of "starter-kit" including this stuff, all desires would be satisfied. ...and i'd like gentoolkit and portmap to be included in the "starter-kit" too.

When that is the case, why have the luser configure the network? IMHO: Partitioning is prep work for OS installation. To have an OS you must fetch it. Setting up net is prep work for fetching.

Created attachment 2839 [details, diff] patch to build.html Minor changes in wording... pointers to where the user might find help with USE, CFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS. Cross-references to the USE howto... which should probably be looked over.
Do we have anybody in docs added to release@gentoo.org ?
Could you please patch this to the current XML of build? It looks good, but we need it in XML to patch correctly ;-) Thanks, //ZhEN
I updated build.xml in cvs with assigned attachements. Is the result OK?
Looks good to me, I verified it w/ xmllint, so it is ready for production. //ZhEN
this is also supposed to be closed
close, dammit!
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
