    Stage 1 or 3?

    Look this isnt one of those "I am A Newb, Tell ME which stage"

    Umm Ok, yesterday I got gentoo running, 2004.3, problem is it was pissed because 2004.3 is outdated now. Portage wasnt working to good and I couldnt install any packages from my package cd, and the sources were ****** aswell. So, time for a two hour download today for a new gentoo iso, 2005.0. I just want you guys to tell me which stage worked best for you, if you've installed 2005 yet.

    I haven't installed Gentoo yet, will start later today.
    But, I plan on doing a stage 1 install. But I plan on taking 2 or 3 days to finish this. And I have a 2.8 Ghz Celeron proc and a gig of 3200 DDR SDRAM.

    A stage 3 install won't take nearly as long.

    I just took a stage 3 install, I ain't too worried of how optimised it is, the default optimalisations are good enough for me, maybe I'll take a stage 1 in the future when I have time... Or if I will try compiling EVERYTHING, maybe I should try LFS ..

    By the way, portage works a lot better with a gentoo-minimal and network connection, I tried without the network and then I just ran into a lot of problems afterwords... Do it over the net!

    There is nothing wrong with universial, just do the instructions for minimal (read on gentoo's page with links from the CD), and you can still use the portage-snapshot (as long as you run "emerge --sync" afterwards) and that stage-files on the CD only make download-time smaller. There is allso IRSSI on the CD.
