Since new install system uses stage3, there is no need to use emerge -e system? This information is not yet updates to quickinstall guide. It should be updated soon? as emerge -e system is still in this and it's localized versions: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml
(In reply to comment #0) Stage three is the default method for a new install, but the other tarballs have not going away. If you use anything but a stage 3 tarball, you must perform an emerge -e world. @GDP: Maybe the "emerge -e system" step could be removed and the rest of the doc updated? Replace it with a link to the relevant part of the FAQ on installing with a stage 1/2 tarball/
Yes, it should be do that way or atleast there should be comment that emerge -e system is not needed nowdays, since basic install is stage-3.
I've started a rewrite, give me a few days to add timing information.
