Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2008-04-06 21:01:32 UTC
In http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap5 , I can read:

"Move to the releases/x86/2008.0_beta1/stages/ directory. There you should see all available stage files for your architecture (they might be stored within subdirectories named after the individual subarchitectures). Select one and press D to download. When you're finished, press Q to quit the browser."

The problem is that proper dir is simply releases/x86/2008.0_beta1/ as "stages" subdir seems to not exist anymore (at least in ftp.free.fr and http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/ mirrors)

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Wrong, it's there. You just didn't bother to actually browse those mirrors.

Behold:

http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/2008.0_beta1/

Closing.

Waitasec. I misread your statement.
Comment 3 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-06 21:11:01 UTC
Sorry 'bout that, thought you said that the files didn't exist at all!

It seems the directory structure has changed for this release; everything was dumped into the same dir. I've fixed this in our documentation; thanks for reporting.
