Description gentoo 2017-09-12 07:43:18 UTC

Hello,

After booting up with the minimal installation CD I get the following login banner:
>Welcome to the Gentoo Linux Minimal Installation CD!
>[..]
>The latest version of the handbook is always available from the Gentoo website by
>typing "links http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml".

But the site stated only yields a 404 Not Found error. The way back machine shows, that a redirect to the Gentoo wiki [0] was in place until around March 2015 [1]. After that there are only snapshots of the 404 error site. Shouldn't the link be updates in the banner to [0]?

Please paste the complete ISO name you've used for the install.

This is fixed in catalyst-3.0_rc1 but I don't think we're building any of our official installcds with that yet.  Dupe of bug 567794?
