You have installed your beloved ports during stage two. Some
ports require a little bit of configuration. This is what stage three,
the post-configuration is for. I could have integrated this
post-configuration at the end of the stage_2.sh
script. However, I think there is a conceptual difference between
installing a port and modifying its out-of-the-box configuration
that warrants a separate stage.
I have chosen to implement stage three as a
Makefile
because this allows easy selection of
what you want to configure simply by running:
#
make -f stage_3.mk target
As with stage_2.sh
make sure you have
stage_3.mk
available after booting the new
system, either by putting it on a shared partition or copying it
somewhere on the new system.
