I've been looking at the stage4 wiki [1], but i'm not sure if it's outdated or not, especially the exclude directories.

New Gentoo build directory (fast computer):
Code:

~/build/gentoo

Tar up the build directory (Not chrooted, no binds, after a system reboot):
Code:

hle@gentoo ~/temp $ cat stage4.exclude
/home/hle/build/gentoo/tmp/*
/home/hle/build/gentoo/var/tmp/*
/home/hle/build/gentoo/proc/*
/home/hle/build/gentoo/sys/*
/home/hle/build/gentoo/dev/*
hle@gentoo ~/temp $ sudo tar --create --absolute-names --preserve-permissions --totals --bzip2 --ignore-failed-read --verbose --file stage4.tar.bz2 ~/build/gentoo -X stage4.exclude


Restoring stage4.tar.bz2 on a slow computer from a live usb:
Code:

# pwd
/mnt/gentoo
# wget --user=**** --password=**** ftp://192.168.1.129/temp/stage4.tar.bz2
# tar --strip-components=4 -xvjpf stage4.tar.bz2


Then proceed as normal with the rest of the Gentoo handbook.

Hi, 3xkrazy.

I suggest you to include /usr/portage/packages/* and /usr/portage/distfiles/* in the exclude list too, on future stage4 generation rounds.

Gentoo-wiki.info content is very outdated (2008).
