0/installcd directory).
If you have computers that have non-x86 or AMD64 architectures, I recommend that you get the
universal CD for your particular architecture instead, as well as the Packages CD before you begin
installing.
 install-*-universal-2007.0.iso??”This bootable install CD image contains enough software
to enable you to have a working Gentoo system without going on the Internet. Look
for the Universal Install CD link on the ???Where to Get Gentoo Linux??? page for your architecture
(www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml).
 packages-*-2007.0.iso??”This non-bootable CD image contains many popular packages
you might want with Gentoo. The contents include popular, precompiled packages that
you can add after the basic Gentoo system is installed. While this CD saves you download
and compile time, it does not let you do the optimization for your particular machine on
the packages it includes. Look for the Package CD link on the ???Where to Get Gentoo
Linux??? page for your architecture.
Those two CDs enable you to do a complete Gentoo install without requiring that you access the
Internet. You can download the disk images from Gentoo mirror sites (refer to www.gentoo.org/
main/en/mirrors.xml for the locations of these sites).
For a more detailed description of the Gentoo install process, refer to the Gentoo Linux x86 Quick
Install Guide and the larger, more general Gentoo 2007.
