Hi,
these are things I noticed:


chapter1:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/draft/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=1

originally:

At this moment we provide GRP packages for the following architectures:

The x86 architecture (x86, pentium3, pentium4, athlon-xp) and the special
purpose Gentoo Hardened profile
...
...
...

The Gentoo Hardened project offers their own GRP set (and stages) focused on
building a proactively secure system. Anyone looking to build a server on the
x86 architecture should investigate this option.

should be:

At this moment we provide GRP packages for the following architectures:

The x86 architecture (x86, i686, pentium3, pentium4, athlon-xp)
Note: the x86 and i686 GRP packages (packages.iso) are available on our
mirrors, while  pentium3, pentium4, athlon-xp are only available via
bittorrent.


(the hardened team currently doesn't offer GRP)

chapter2:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/draft/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2

original:

If you take a closer look into releases/x86/2004.2 you will see that we also
provide Gentoo Package CDs (in the packagecd/) directory. This CD (which
isn't bootable) only contains precompiled packages and can be used to install
software after a succesfull Gentoo Installation. To install Gentoo, you only
need the Universal LiveCD, but if you want OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, KDE,
GNOME etc. without having to compile every single one of them, you need the
Packages CD too. For example the Athlon-XP (a subarchitecture of x86)
Packages CD is called packages-athlon-xp-2004.2.iso and can be found in the
appropriate subdirectory (athlon-xp).

should be:

...
For example the i686 (a subarchitecture of x86) Packages CD is called
packages-i686-2004.2.iso and can be found in the appropriate subdirectory
(i686).

chapter5:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/draft/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5

original:
...
Depending on your installation medium, you have a couple of tools available to
download a stage. If you have lynx available, then you can immediately surf
to the Gentoo mirrorlist and choose a mirror close to you. Then pick the
releases/ directory, followed by your architecture (for instance x86/) and
the Gentoo version (2004.1/) to finish up with the stages/ directory. There
you should see all available stage files for your architecture. Select one
and press D to download. When you're finished, press Q to quit the browser.



Note: The Gentoo Hardened stages (for the x86 architecture) are part of the
2004.0/ release.

should be:

....Then pick the releases/ directory, followed by your architecture (for
instance x86/) and the Gentoo version (2004.2/) to finish up with the stages/
directory....
...

(hardened releases too for 2004.2 <-- ask tseng if that's *really* official)

beejay has taken a look too.

Thanks a lot for fixing stuff so close to release,
I'm hoping we can get that stuff smoothed earlier for the next release.

If there are any questions please contact wolf31o2 or beejay in
#gentoo-releng. (or me should I be available)


Cheers
