Description Alvaro Figueroa (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-27 12:04:18 UTC
Ben Collins' netinst cd (referenced after code listing 2.1), does not have a
bzip2 uncompresser.
Code listing 4.2 ask the user to uncompress a stage1 image that has been
compressed using bzip2.
Comment 1 Jack Morgan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-17 10:18:49 UTC
Is this still an issue? We can etiher provide tar.gz stage tarballs or ask Ben Collins' to include bzip2 on his iso. 

We will be coming out with a new iso soon, eg this weekend so this should be resolved

why not cover the bases, we could provide both gzip and bzip compressed tarballs, _and_ ask bcollins to add bzip2. :)

Since we have the new iso and install guide almost done, i'm closing this bug
