Changing compiletime options such as USEflags and CHOST are not supported on a  
GRP install. Therefor please remove this section from the networkless  
instructions.  
  
ditto for   
6.b. Configuring the USE Variable   
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap2  
  
Maybe add a an explanation about USEflags and make.conf at the end of the 
networkless handbook once all binary packages are installed.  
 
Cheers

"Do not make any modifications to the USE variable if you are performing a stage3 with GRP installation. You can alter the USE variable after having installed the packages you want. Gremlins are known to attack your system if you ignore this warning!"

"The CHOST variable declares the target build host for your system. This variable should already be set to the correct value. Do not edit it as that might break your system. If the CHOST variable does not look correct to you, you might be using the wrong stage3 tarball."

"Warning: Do not make any modifications to the USE variable yet if you plan to use our prebuilt packages (GRP set). You can alter the USE variable after having installed the packages you want. Gremlins are known to attack your system if you ignore this warning!"

Or did I miss something?
