This is not a bug - I followed this link from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml, the last paragraph on the page, "I disagree with..." Well, I disagree with the decision to include only stage3 instructions in the Gentoo Handbook. All 6 of my Gentoo boxen have built exceptionally well from stage1 and any problems I encountered had simple solutions that were mainly due to user error and not difficulty understanding the Handbook. I understand that the Handbook was simplified to stage3 only to stem the flow of begreports arising from people not reading the fine manual when performing non-stage3 builds, but I think that a link should be put up to the old handbook so all of us veteran Gentoo sysadmins can read it from time to time when we burn our new LiveCDs. I don't ever plan on doing a stage3 Gentoo install as I think it's a waste of time to REbuild the system after the initial install. Thanks for listening to me and I hope that you take this into consideration. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Visit http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml 2.Read the Handbook 3. Actual Results: Gentoo Linux (finest OS on the planet) was built successfully with default optimization flags for a generic x86 CPU Expected Results: Built Gentoo Linux using a stage1 image that provided the option to bootstrap gcc and build the system with custom-tweaked optimization flags from the ground-up, thus saving us all time as we can let the machines bootstrap overnight Target box (system I WANT to build Gentoo on): Alienware Area51 Custom, Intel Pentium4 at 2.4GHz, 768MB PC800 RDRAM, using LiveCD 2005.0 This box (system I used to fill in this form): AMD Athlon-XP at 2.4GHz, 768MB PC3200 DDR-SDRAM, running kernel 2.6.13-gentoo-r3, CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer", CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu", USE Flags summary: optimized for GNOME and KDE, optimized against objective C, enabling Java, enabling sse2 FPU optimizations, building with 3d graphics libraries, no sound, and a variety of GUI options (aalib, libcaca, Xaw3d, lesstif, ncurses, etc.)
bugzilla is not the proper forum for this, please start a thread on the gentoo-dev mailing list
