   Under:                                                                                          
   Code listing 8.1: Downloading Required Stages                                                   
   It says                                                                                         
   Use lynx to get the URL for your tarball:                                                       
   # lynx http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/releases/x86/1.4/                                          
   But it seems like lynx isnt installed in the livecd....but LINKS is...So you should             
   change it to links.                                                                             
   $0.02 ;)

I'd say fix the LiveCD, not the document. This for the following reason:
- Setting up proxy for "lynx": "export http_proxy="...""
- Setting up proxy for links:
   * fire up links
   * go to the setup menu, select networking options
   * insert proxy information
   * go to the setup menu (again)
   * select "Save options"
   * exit links

Plus, this would be an _addition_ to the guide since wget still relies on the http_proxy information.

Very well then, i'll add a note to the installation guide, but with strong feelings about it...

Not sure why links was added instead of "lynx" (guess Bob decided to change it,) but "links" has the potential of showing graphics on an FB console, so it's probably best to keep it. :/

But a discussion on gentoo-dev seemed to stem in favor of lynx (which is smaller) on at least the basic CD.
