Re: [gentoo-user] x86 Packages CD image

[Joseph Kulisics]

Hi,

  I looked at the torrents page before---http://torrents.gentoo.org/---but
the only package files are for architectures other than x86. If I could
find the CD image, then I know how to use emerge to refer to the CDROM for
package installation; I just can't find a CD image anywhere. Is there a
link on the page that I missed, or is the package CD rolled into one of
the other disks like the livecd? Thanks,

  Joseph Kulisics
