gentoo stage 2 question

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Gentoo has three stages - basically starting points.  Stage 1 is real basic 
- it gives you a base system, enough to create a system and then proceed 
on. Yes, stage 1 is a bootstrap process. Stage 2 and 3 tarballs have more 
stuff compiled in them so you loose optimizations but you have a more 
complete system.

If you start from stage 1 you have to do what is essentially stage 2 and 3 
but you don't use the tarballs - you just emerge system and then emerge 
world which gives you stage 2 and 3.
