Where is the minimal installation ISO?

Having problems with the Gentoo Handbook? If you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place. All other questions go elsewhere.

I have gone to the local mirror looking for it but under releases and autobuilds it only has files ending in qcow2 -- the other files are all stage3 files. What's going on?

wynnmc,

It's still listed on the downloads page.
Maybe you local mirror does not mirror it?

Well, I went to

Code: Select all

https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20250504T164008Z/
and also to a German site but they were both the same ... what site were you looking at?

wynnmc,

The purple "downloads" in my post is a clickable link to https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/

If you use this mirror, just one folder up and then current-install-amd64-minimal and you will be here which lists minimal iso images.

Otherwise use the mentioned download page and use the provided download link from there.
