18 Hi,

20 There is a sources cd iso here (g2source-0.?.iso):
21 http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/livecd/
22 If you are lucky, you will be able to boot and install from this cd.
23 If you are not, you will need to install a stage1 system, and then
24 use this cd as a sources repository.
25 As far as I know, this cd can't be ordered anywhere for now.
