Which Frikin ISO do I download?

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 already posted here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-315091.html

Now that people told me what to download, I'm still a lil confused at what to download.
Do I want a minimal Universal Install CD and a Stage3 iso?

If someone could be so kind to just send me links to which files I have to download I would really appreciate that. Thanks in advance to any replies. Please keep your replies constructive.

You need either the Universal Install CD ISO, or the Minimal Install CD ISO+Stage 3 tarball. The universal disk already has all the stages on it.

Hey

you should read the manual about this. If you want a stage 3 installation, download the Maximal LiveCD.
If you want to install gentoo using stage 1 or 2 however, the minimal will suffice.

I'd recommend reading through thi topic of the manual first. If you have any more questions, I'll be glad to answer them!
Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Well, universal CD does contain some stages, doesn't it? If you don't want to download a stage tarball (up to 80megs), don't choose minimal install cd. Universal is a choice for you in this case.

Visit http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml and pick up the closest geografically mirror, for example:
ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/

Download a 650-megs-cd:
ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gento ... 2005.0.iso
and check its md5sum afterwards:
ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gento ... .0.iso.md5

The minimal cd:
ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gento ... 2005.0.iso
is stage-less so you'll need to download them while installing.

:P

so what I want then is a stage3 universal CD? That will make it so I dont have to download anything extra during the install process, and it installs with the 'least' amount of configuration? I know I'm such a noob to all this. I really appreciate the help.

Ok well I'm currently downloading:

install-x86-universal-2005.0.iso

from:

ftp://cs.ubishops.ca/pub/gentoo/release ... installcd/

Could someone confirm thats what I want?

Correct.

Also, please do not start a new thread when the topic to be discussed has only slightly changed. It is very annoying to keep track of 2 threads started by the same person on almost the same subject matter.
