Gentoo.

The reason I chose the stage3 tarball from the start was because it looked
like it took the least amount of configuration.  =:-/

I thought, apparently as Jeremy did, that the package came with the whole
shebang. 

The docs read like it did.

Is there a definitive answer somewheres?

Thanks,

Chris
