I am reading this article here on how to install gentoo.
http://gentoo.vidalinux.com/?q=node/view/35

it says i need to download the binary package CD from one of the Gentoo mirrors.
I am here ftp://gentoo.mirrored.ca/releases/x86/2004.0/stages/pentium4/
but which file do i need?
i am downloading this : stage3-pentium4-20040218.tar.bz2 is this the right one?

thanks

you only need the grp iso cd if you want it. i recommend you compile everything, as binaries arent gonna be best suited for your pc as compiling em would.
