38 Benda,

40 It works now, its just not quite authentic. Follow the instructions in
41 the wiki page I linked, or if you can't wait, there is a link to a root
42 filesystem image for Virtualbox. I have hosted all the source files I
43 have found, so go ahead and do a 2003 stage1 install.
44
45 KDE is 3.1.1 not 3.1.1a
46
47 pam_login is 3.11, not 3.10.
48
49 net-tools-1.60-gentoo-extra.tar.bz2 I had to remake, based on the
50 comments in the ebuild. The file size and md5sum don't match but I used
51 2021 tar to put the bits together.
52
53 XFree is there, just not the version portage wanted to install.
