The first one being an universal + bootable InstallCD which can be used to install with or without an Internet + connection. The second InstallCD is a bootable minimal InstalCD that is + smaller in size and includes only the basics needed to simply boot a machine. + In addition we provide a non-bootable subarch-optimized + Gentoo Reference Platform (GRP) PackageCD which contains precompiled + binaries of popular programs such as X.org-x11, KDE, and GNOME.</p> + + <p>At minimum, the universal or minimal InstallCD is required to boot the + machine and install Gentoo. The universal InstallCD requires an Internet + connection to install from a stage1 installation tarball, but does not + require an Internet connection to install from a stage3 installation + tarball. The minimal InstallCD requires an Internet connection to install + Gentoo Linux.</p> + + <p>There is one kernel available on both bootable cds. It will run on + both, uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems. The kernel is based on + linux-2.6.12 (hppa-sources-2.6.12.2_pa2).</p> + + <p>The InstallCDs are located on the mirrors as follows: </p> + <table> + <tr> + <th>InstallCD Description</th> + <th>Location on Mirrors</th> + </tr> + <tr> + <ti>Universal bootable InstallCD</ti> + <ti>/releases/hppa/2005.1/hppa/installcd/install-hppa-universal-2005.1.iso</ti> + </tr> + <tr> + <ti>Minimal bootable InstallCD</ti> + <ti>/releases/hppa/2005.1/hppa/installcd/install-hppa-minimal-2005.1.iso</ti> + </tr> + <tr> + <ti>Non-bootable GRP-/PackageCD</ti> + <ti>/experimental/hppa/packagecd/$subarch/packages-$subarch-2005.1.iso</ti> + </tr> + </table> + </body> + </section> + <section> + <title>Upgrading to Gentoo Linux 2005.1</title> + <body> + <p> If you already have a working installation of Gentoo Linux (Version + 1.4, 2004.0 through 2005.0) there is no need to reinstall. You will + automatically get Gentoo 2005.1 if you sync your Portage tree and run + <c>emerge --update world</c>. If you still have an installation with a + Gentoo 1.2 profile it might make sense -- in some cases -- that you do a + new installation.</p> + + <p> There is also the possibility to update your system to a 1.4 profile + from which you -- as already stated -- can easily get to Gentoo 2005.1. + This update includes recompiling of glibc and some essential system + packages; it will take a very long time (possibly longer as a complete + re-installation) and it might also fail. So if you still have an + installation with a Gentoo 1.2 profile, it's your decision whether you + update or reinstall.</p> + </body> + </section> +</chapter> + +</guide> |
