None. But the portage snapshot is best fetched from the web |
| 15 |
anyway, as far as I'm concerned. Same with the handbook, as |
| 16 |
it may contain (theoritcal) up-to-the minute corrections. |

So, the portage snapshot and handbook don't have to on the |
| 19 |
Live CD. |

Stage Tarball - well, yes, that's an additional download, |
| 22 |
that's true. |
