The stage3 tarball is a gentoo base system and portage tarball is the content of /usr/portage/ that contains all the ebuild of portage tree.
| Quote: | The Stage3 Tarball
A stage3 tarball is an archive containing a minimal Gentoo environment, suitable to continue the Gentoo installation using the instructions in this manual. Previously, the Gentoo Handbook described the installation using one of three stage tarballs. While Gentoo still offers stage1 and stage2 tarballs, the official installation method uses the stage3 tarball. If you are interested in performing a Gentoo installation using a stage1 or stage2 tarball, please read the Gentoo FAQ on How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball?
Stage3 tarballs can be downloaded from releases/x86/2008.0/stages/ on any of the Official Gentoo Mirrors and are not provided on the LiveCD. |
