Just get any old version (that works), install, and when its all done, |
| 12 |
upgrade. Simple as that. I used an old 2005 install disc for an |
| 13 |
emergency installation at a friend the other day. The only thing that |
| 14 |
bothered me was the GCC upgrade, the rest went smoothly, as all you |
| 15 |
need is a sync to be able to install the latest software, upgrade all |
| 16 |
packages, use the latest profile, etc. |

There's no urgency for a new release, it's really not needed because |
| 19 |
of the way Gentoo works. |
