Live DVD 2004.3 docs should copy distfiles from both dvds during networkless install

The DVD 1 does not contain all the needed distfiles for a networkless install.

I am not aware of Gentoo distributing any LiveDVD nor sets thereof.

I am referring to the product sold at the following

Gentoo Distfiles/Install 2-DVD Set

[Comment 4 Martin OConnor 2005-01-12 10:05:41 UTC]

If using this 2 DVD set AND doing a networkless install the user should take steps to:

1 - Boot with docache option 
2 - Copy disk 1 /distfiles/* to /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/
3 - Unmount disk 1 and mount disk 2
4 - copy disk 2 * to /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/
5 - Unmount disk 2 and mount disk 1 
6 - Continue with instalation

Actually, the LiveDVD is a product of the Gentoo store and not Gentoo Linux.

We do not provide documentation for it, nor did we create it.  You would probably be best suited to send an email to [e-mail], as he runs the store, and let him know of the trouble, so he can ensure the next version of his DVD set will work for networkless installations.

[Comment 6 Martin OConnor 2005-01-12 10:19:28 UTC]

But the DVD in question uses the standard documentation from Gentoo, I feel the best approach would be to include the above info for people who choose to use the  DVD set.
I have added [e-mail] as a cc to this bug. 

[Comment 7 Martin OConnor 2005-01-12 11:33:10 UTC]

This isnt really a bug as the included documentation specifies a stage 3 install *ONLYY* for a networkless install. A stage3 install does not require the distfiles as stages 1 & 2 would have.
