I want to use 2005.1 and if possible the packages cd (for a quick result) . I have an athlon 1133. I am re-building it after a root account compromise (don't ask or I'll cry). According to the release announcement the package cd's don't seem to have an athlon version any more. http://www.gentoo.org/news/20050808-annoncement-release-2005.1.xml (the choices seem to be alpha amd64 ppc (32 bit) ppc (64 bit) sparc64 x86). However on http://tracker.netdomination.org/ there are package cd's for a whole lot of other sub-arches - i686, athlon-xp, P3, P4 and more. Are these official gentoo - if not can anyone tell me about their origin and reliability? Also is "athlon-xp" compatible with "athlon"? Or should I go for i686? Actually using i686 could be a bonus as it would mean I could share binaries between my desktop and my p3 laptop, which is compiled for 686. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
