You can find them by following the ibiblio link and then go to |
| 8 |
snapshots/build/ix86-linux-gnu and getting the latest build_1.0_rc6 |
| 9 |
image (-r14 right now). It is not easily accessed b/c it is an rc and |
| 10 |
not a "real" release. |

The build image will not be including the 2.4.18_pre3 kernel, as it has |
| 20 |
some xfs issues, but that doesn't matter anyway. We don't need a |
| 21 |
cutting edge kernel on the build cd, just one that supports the features |
| 22 |
needed to bootstrap the system. Once you do that, you download all the |
| 23 |
latest and greatest ebuilds. We do now have a XFree86 4.2 ebuild, and |
| 24 |
I'm sure Daniel is working hard on a new kernel. Portage 1.8.5 will be |
| 25 |
installed when you emerge system from the CD. |
