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?
