Gentoo ISO Download...
|
|
|
| I am trying to get Gentoo ISOs. I have been at their site and I am trying to
figure out what to get for files...
The readme on the server talks of install ISOs, but all I find what is
labeled as the LiveCD (packages-x86-2004.0.iso).
What ISO files do I need? Anyone know?

That is pretty sad asking how to get another distribution in a
distribution specific news group.
alt.os.linux or alt.linux would be better unless you ask the question in
ALT.OS.LINUX.GENTOO

Yeah, but they are total jerks over there. Probably pissed that there are
stuck for days compiling KDE 3.1 and have missed 3.2 and 3.2.1 while
offline...

Who are you replying to?

Learning how to quote might be a useful thing to do, for one.

Yep. Here are the instructions per Gentoo:
========================================
=====================================
Please see the Gentoo Linux 2004.0 for x86 release notes at
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/
The bootable install LiveCDs can be found in the livecd/universal/ directory.
Of the two bootable install LiveCDs available, the
install-x86-universal-2004.0.iso allows a network install using the on-disc
stage1 tarball, or an optimized stage3 install using one of the on-disc stage3
tarballs (stage3 tarballs for x86, i686, pentium3, pentium4 and athlon-xp are
included on this disc.) In addition, the necessary sources are included to
install Gentoo from a stage3 (but not stage1) *without* a network connection.
The install-x86-minimal-2004.0.iso is just the bootable part of the LiveCD.
Use it to boot your system and start a network-based install.
The ISO images found in the livecd/x86/, livecd/i686/, livecd/pentium3/,
livecd/pentium4/ and livecd/athlon-xp/ directories (named
"packages-<subarch>-2004.0.iso") are not bootable but are filled with pre-built
binary packages, including KDE, GNOME, XFCE4, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, Mozilla
Firefox, XFree86 and many more. Use one of these CDs (choose one appropriate to
your architecture) to set up a graphical workstation quickly.
We hope you enjoy Gentoo Linux 2004.0 for x86!
========================================
================================
That should explain it. Good luck, it's an excellent Linux distribution.
