"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

Here is an example:
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/tmp2
# cd /mnt/gentoo/tmp2
# wget -c http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2007.0/
stages/stage1-x86-2007.0.tar.bz2
If you are using the universal CD, the stage1 tarball is available there. Instead of downloading
it, jump to the next step and extract the tarball from /mnt/cdrom/stages/
stage1*.tar.bz2.
The wget command, which appears on multiple lines here, should all be typed on one
line. (There??™s no space between the slash at the end of the first line and the word ???stages???
at the beginning of the next.) If the download should stop in the middle, you can restart it by running
the same command again in the same directory.
13. Extract the stage 1 tarball. Use the following commands:
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# tar -xvjpf /mnt/gentoo/tmp2/stage1-*.tar.bz2
NOTE
395
Running Gentoo Linux 13
You can remove the stage1 tarball once you have untarred it.
14. Select the mirror site. Use the mirrorselect command to search for a Gentoo mirror
site from which you can efficiently download the files you need to do the install. Run the
following command to select an efficient mirror and add it to your make.conf file (it will
take a while to test the download speed from more than 150 servers):
# mirrorselect -s4 -o |grep GENTOO_MIRRORS >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.
