Translations:Install/Download and Extract Stage3/15/en

Once the stage is downloaded, extract the contents with the following command, substituting in the actual name of your Stage 3 tarball:

root # tar xpf stage3-latest.tar.xz

   Important

It is very important to use tar's "p" option when extracting the Stage 3 tarball - it tells tar to preserve any permissions and ownership that exists within the archive. Without this option, your Funtoo Linux filesystem permissions will be incorrect.
