Well, I do something like this.  Once every few months I extract that
stage4 tarball to /mnt/gentoo.  I then mount my portage partition to
/mnt/gentoo/usr/portage. I then mount proc and chroot in. Then I do a
emerge -uvDN world to update everything, log out of the chroot and
umount proc and portage. Then I create a new tarball that has the date in the name. I keep a couple of these stored on on my backups as well.


I'm confusled. :/

Why do you update the stage 3, rather than simply creating the stage 4 from your current functioning system?

Stroller.
