the portage snapshot on the 2005.1 install disc is in the "snapshot" directory not the "snapshots" directory as stated in the manual Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Which installdisk? install-x86-universal-2005.1.iso?

Any reason some arches have an md5 sum and others not? Thanks guys!
Yet another red warning in the 2005.1 handbook. Thanks for reporting.
I fixed this in the 2005.1-r1 media for x86. Could we possibly get something in the Handbook to show this? Also, could we recommend the 2005.1-r1 InstallCD (minimal or universal) versus the 2005.1 ones for the released architectures? That would be amd64, ppc64, sparc, and x86. Thanks
(In reply to comment #5) > I fixed this in the 2005.1-r1 media for x86. Can you define 'this'? Did you rename the dir, the file name, or both? Do all new CDs use the same portage snapshot?

Where are the CD file lists? Something hopefully more useful than: /livecd /livecd.squashfs /README.txt
Sorry, the snapshot for x86 is under /mnt/cdrom/snapshots as it was on all the other arches. The snapshot name has not changed and all the CD images use the same snapshot. The changes are mostly bug fixes. We updated to gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 and genkernel 3.3.6 to resolve most of the issues. As for the file lists, they will never be useful on the InstallCD images, except for the distfiles, I suppose, as they really are nothing more than: /livecd /livecd.squashfs /README.txt Everything on the CD is contained inside the squashfs image.

This is as useful as telling me the files are on the CD :) I never said the listings should be on the media (can't find any reason either), but they should be made available to us, as required by your own release guide lines (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/docs/release_guidelines.xml#doc_chap2_sect2) They help us find answers instead of asking releng. Can you confirm that the following warning can be removed? "The stage3-athlon-xp-2005.1.tar.bz2, stage3-pentium3-2005.1.tar.bz2 and stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2 files have a serious permission error. After extracting any of these, run chmod 0755 /mnt/gentoo to fix the error before continuing with the installation." I have started an install with an x86 Universal CD and will update the books as appropriate. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #7) > We updated to gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 and Does that apply to all 4 arches? 2005.1 Handbooks currently use x86:gentoo-sources-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 amd64:gentoo-sources-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 ppc64:gentoo-sources-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 sparc:sparc-sources-2.4.29 Current ppc64 handbook still uses gentoo-sources-2.6.7-gentoo-r8 Probably an oversight.
(In reply to comment #8) > > Everything on the CD is contained inside the squashfs image. > > This is as useful as telling me the files are on the CD :) OK. Allow me to say this a little bit simpler. There are only something like 10 files on the Minimal CD. The only ones of any consequence are livecd.squashfs (or image.squashfs with newer catalyst versions) and the kernel. The squashfs image is a loopback filesystem with all of the files contained inside. This means you will *not* get a "more useful" file listing, because there isn't one. There are 2 CD images where a file listing is useful. The Universal CD, and the Packages CD. > I never said the listings should be on the media (can't find any reason either), They aren't on the media, nor have they ever been on the media. > but they should be made available to us, as required by your own release guide > lines > (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/docs/release_guidelines.xml#doc_chap2_sect2) > They help us find answers instead of asking releng. *sigh* Fine. I'm just going to change the guidelines ot match what is reality. That it is only required for Universal and Packages. Packages has not changed. I'll get you the Universal listings today. > Can you confirm that the following warning can be removed? > "The stage3-athlon-xp-2005.1.tar.bz2, stage3-pentium3-2005.1.tar.bz2 and > stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2 files have a serious permission error.

I can confirm that there is no longer a permissions issue with those or any other stages.

Sorry, I was only speaking for x86, as that was what I had built.

Allow me to say this a little bit simpler. Looks like I need to do that well. We regularly need answers to simple questions like what tools are available on a booted livecd for any given arch like 'is lspci there?' or what text browser is available 'is it links/links2/lynx?' or what versions of what source are available... That's why your guidelines say we need a listing of all contents, including of the compressed file systems. Feel free to change those guidelines and not send us the listings. Instead of checking ourselves, we'll just reassign or forward the questions to you. If that's what you want, fine with me. Thanks for the kernel versions and other info. 8 handbooks have been updated.
