If you have an i586 class machine (Pentium, Pentium MMX, AMD K6, K6-II, etc.) you might want to pick up this stage3 tarball and use it for your installation in case you don't want to stick with the i486 CHOST of the official Gentoo tarball and / or manually change the CHOST to i586 after installation. Installation-wise, of course, you use it in conjunction with a Gentoo minimal installation CD as can be picked up on any Gentoo mirror, and simply follow the Gentoo Handbook, using the above mentioned stage3 tarball instead of one of Gentoo's official i486 or i686 ones. The stage3 is current portage-wise as of today, and if I actually see people downloading it in the FTP logs I will update it on a regular basis (probably not weekly as is the case with the official Gentoo tarballs, but at least once a month). DISCLAIMER: Although I believe the provided stage3 tarball to work just fine, it has not been thoroughly tested, so use at your own risk and report any problems you encounter to me. There shouldn't really be any, but who knows! ;-) Greetings, Nils -- Nils Holland * Ti Systems, Wunstorf-Luthe (Germany) Powered by GNU/Linux since 1998
