Q: Where to get older minimal installation CD?

solamour

The download site (https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/) contains a few recent builds, but I'd like to try older installation CDs. I can boot the 20240506 minimal installation CD via PXE, but not with the recent versions (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1173113.html). Something must have changed since then.

solamour,

I have a small selection I could host if they are any use.

I'd appreciate if you'd be so kind as to share any "amd64-minimal" newer than 20240506. Kinda wish there were an archive for all previous builds, but I guess it all comes down to the storage issue.

You should be able to get it from my Google Drive here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m88f9cZ106hgTjQINjPaZiiaLf2seQoj/view?usp=sharing

Thank you. I've added it to my collection of old stuff.

freke, thanks for sharing 20240714 minimal CD. It does boot via PXE, so something must have changed between last year's summer and early this year.

solamour,

That's worth a bug to bugs.gentoo.org if its new.
