Gentoo: What to download?


Recommended Posts

I'm a little confused as to what to download to install Gentoo. I want to do a stage 1 install, but the Stage cds I found on the gentoo site are tar bz2's that are like 12mb big. Back before 2004.0, when I downloaded Gentoo, they were like 600 mb each. What do I download?

good luck and i hope you have

1.) a second pc while compiling (as it takes the hell long)

2.) distcc on several pc's to spread the compile load

3.) read the setup guide on www.gentoo.org

i myself have a ~x86-sys running kernel 2.6.5-rc1-love2 rock-solid... so if you don't use it for a mission-critical machine i suggest using ~86 for the fun of risking the sys with every update cycle (just joking :D )
