(Continuation of part 1)

# ls -l /etc/make.profile

As far as I can tell the 2004.3 already uses the 2.6 kernel, so there's nothing to do here. I also configured my USE flags in my last post, so that's already done as well.

# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh

This will take a while to run (I estimate a few hours, maybe even overnight). Once that finishes, you move from stage2 to stage3.

# emerge --emptytree system

Which will also take a few hours.

(next step)
