universal install cd

[Kitfer]

does anyone know where I can find the old universal install cds and the packages disc? I have an old computer with which I want to screw around with but I don't want to re download everything every time I want to start over and try something different, since the computer is five or six years old I'm figuring the universal disc would be ideal and I do have fond memories of 2004.2 (until the cat slept on the keyboard destroying the computer lol)

Scroll to the bottom of this link, I was able to find 11, 11.0 and 12.0. You could also, on the same link above, Try the Gentoo Weekly Minimal Install CD and Stages (autobuilds)

EDIT: See this link too. I Found 10.0 and Gentoo 2008-0

thanks for the quick reply, checked out those links and all the images seem to be for amd64 (despite the hyperlink being labeled x86) am I just getting confused by the labeling having amd64 in the name? would one of these images work on an old celeron?

[MikeTbob]

You probably want the x86 iso.

[Kitfer]

Yes but I checked the x86 link and the amd64 link and found the isos have the same name, I'm thinking it would just be best to use what I have in the past, is there any way I can get the old 2004.2 universal and packages disc? (and yes I know it won't sync with current repos)

[MikeTbob]

Maybe you can find it on some old FTP sites or something. It's going to take some looking for sure.

I just got back from spending my hard earnings from this week. So kinda off kilter posting.

Here is the swedish page which goes into more detail. I have translate tool in SeaMonkey but to bleary eyed to read it. Lots of info there if you have a page translator in your browser,

Maybe I shouldn't be posting at all.

Thanks for the input but I'm not after a gentoo derivative (if I were I'd use sabayon) I'm after the old universal install discs that I'm used to

[Kitfer]

no kidding, you'll find that by by looking for it in google you'll only get dead links, ended up getting it by emailing the gentoo developers
