Athlon iso

I somehow can't find the Athlon iso for the latest release of gentoo. All I get is a ~80mb .tar which I can unrar as a 280mb file, but not a file that creates a bootable cd. Can anyone give me the url to the latest Athlon release (stage 3)?

If you are refering to the Athon-XP stage 3 file you can get it here

If you are talking about the iso for the Live cd you can get that here

I've downloaded the stage 3-file that is in that folder, but when I use the file it extracts to create a cd it's not browsable nor is it bootable, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

So I assume you are trying to make a live CD if so use this link it will give you an iso. You can then use your favorite burning software to make a cd out of it.

I'm kind of confused, should I download the LiveCD and then input the stage 3 .tar? The liveCD is @ 639mb while the stage 3 is a tar @ 80 something

Is this an initial install? By this I mean are you already booting with a bootable cd and needing to down load the stage 3 packet.

OR

Are you looking to make a bootable CD so you can start your Gentoo installation?

So this image IS supposed to be bootable? Exactly what files in the image initiate the boot? The only file in the root is portage-20040223.tar.bz2. There is no boot file or anything that I've seen before. This isn't the first time I've installed a version of Linux, but I remember that I never had a problem getting it to load off the CD. Could the LiveCD for the Athlon XP's may be missing something?

Well I sounded like a newb (I am but I'm actively trying not to sound like one) but I think that the AthlonXP LiveCD ISO has a problem. I can boot the universal but cannot boot the AthlonXP. I got it from here

install-x86-universal-2004.0.iso

This ist the right one to install, whereas it's nice to have also the packages disk around... saves a lot time downloading and compiling.
