I get the Minimal Installation CD and the stage3 with one resp. two clicks. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Go to https://www.gentoo.org and click on "Downloads". There you are. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And if you do it from your link to the Gentoo Handbook: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Go to |
| 35 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Media#Minimal_installation_CD |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Read this: |
| 38 |
"The default installation media that Gentoo Linux uses are the minimal |
| 39 |
installation CDs, which host a bootable, very small Gentoo Linux |
| 40 |
environment with the right tools to install Gentoo Linux from. The CD |
| 41 |
images themselves can be downloaded from one of the many mirrors available. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
On those mirrors, the minimal installation CDs can be found as follows: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Go to the releases/ directory |
| 46 |
Select the right architecture, such as x86/ |
| 47 |
Select the autobuilds/ directory |
| 48 |
Select the current-iso/ directory |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Inside this location, the installation CD file is the file with the .iso |
| 51 |
suffix. For instance, take a look at the following listing:" |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Click the link behind the word "mirrors" in the second sentence and |
| 54 |
follow the instructions you read before. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
If there are no isos on the mirror you've chosen like kernel.org (which |
| 57 |
is btw. not listed as an official Gentoo mirror anymore) read the file |
| 58 |
latest-iso.txt in the directory mentioned above on that mirror or choose |
| 59 |
another one. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Then follow the instructions on |
| 62 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Stage and you get |
| 63 |
the stage3 tarball. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
It's actually pretty easy. |
