Hi folks,

Trying to install Gentoo here using "install-x86-minimal-2005.1.iso" cd. Going through the Manual. Downloaded Stage 2 and 3 for a Pentium3. Extracted. Now on the last step of Chapter 5d: Installing Portage. Now I need the distfiles and since I am using the minimal cd they are no on the cd and when i checked the ftps from where i downloaded the stage2 and 3 files realized that there are 100's of distfiles... What do i have to do? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Renato

Try following the current handbook, not the networkless one.
