Does anyone have tried this with a stage3 installation for 2006.1 profile? Since there new gcc and glibc are used, causing some problem by 'chroot'.

Tried it today, July 22 2007. The stopper for me is, Debian's /root tmpfs according to df has only 102400 blocks (*1000=100MB) but the stage 3 tarball (2007.1) is 107MB in size. You get a disk-full error when attempting to wget the stage 3 tarball. Is there any easy way to raise the size of the /root tmpfs?
