I use stage 3 as well. And it is out of date and only good for a starting
place as just about everything in it will have to be updated. Gcc and Glib
alone require 3 hours.
X11 alone takes 4 hours; kde alone takes 12 hours.
I like to build my only applications instead of using binaries. Openoffice
needs 3 hours.

I'm happy for you. Does your amazing speed refute my argument that it is
false to say that only somebody like Mr. Torvalds can do it in under a week?
