Description Nick 2005-09-21 18:22:26 UTC

i am doing a networkless installation, couldn't find the sources on the CD. Went
to look in the documentation (2005.1 handbook) and there is nothing in part 7 (
installing the sources) to help me out. i browed through every dir in the CD and
couldn't find anything, my CD was downloaded from one of your mirror's only
about a week ago so it can't be that old. Any help on howto get these sources
would be much appreciated, and maybe updating the handbook with commands for the
networkless install people would really be beneficial.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me or any updates that you might
make to the handbook,
Nick

Of course you're using universal installation cd, not the minimal one and read
that big Gentoo Handbook chapter about choosing the right installation medium?
Sources are in distfiles/ dir at cd, more info can be found here:

I assume that my answer about location of sources on the CD was satisfying, closing.
