Description Jill Mitchell 2003-01-04 01:20:54 UTC

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".
