The only flag you should not change after a stage 3 install is CHOST. If you downloaded the right stage3 tarball there is no reason to do so unless you are cross-compiling. Note that stage1 is still available, but no longer supported by the handbook, as there is allmost no reason, even for an experienced gentoo-er not to use stage3. > If I'm forced to use > > canned binaries I might as well go with FC or Debian..
