[KLUG Members] Question on Gentoo

[MPs]

Re-reading the install instructions I see that I was wrong, at least
somewhat.

-cd1.iso contains "every thing you need to install Gentoo Linux quickly,
even without a connection to the Internet". However some of the packages
have been pre-compiled. -cd2.iso contains more pre-compiled packages, but
the source is on -cd1.iso if you would rather compile them yourself.
