This is a workflow since some of the items can't be done
automatically with lynx or bash.
# download and verify stage3 file,
0) On existing system import gentoo signing keys for later verification
# wget -O - https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/service-keys.gpg | gpg
--import
1) open https://distfiles.gentoo.org/
2) find and open releases/
3) find and open amd64/
4) find and open autobuilds/
5) find and open current-stage3-amd64-openrc/
6) first move to bottom of directory then move up 5 file links,
7) you should land on the most recent set of stage3 files using lynx,
8) hit equals key to get information on link,
9) On display get to bottom of screen,
10) up-arrow onto line starting with URL:,
11) Get to first h on line then hit speakup mark key,
12) keep hitting next character until space is spoken,
13) hit previous character once then hit speakup cut key,
14) background lynx control-z,
15) make igentoo file with emacs,
# emacs igentoo,
16) with igentoo open hit speakup paste key pasting url into igentoo,
17) save and exit igentoo,
18) foreground lynx with fg then hit equals symbol,
19) hit down-arrow to get to next file link,
20) almost repeat steps 8-19 except append urls to igentoo in emacs,
21) once finished igentoo should have five urls in it,
22) let's use igentoo,
# wget -bci igentoo -o igentoo.log
23) check igentoo.log with:
# wc -l igentoo.log&&grep -ic saved igentoo.log
24) that command when first used should produce two numbers the
second being 0,
25) use the command again hit up-arrow then enter,
26) the first number should be larger,
27) repeat steps 25-26 until second number spoken is 5,
28) download try is finished,
29) time to verify and validate,
30) each following command should return no errors,
31) gpg --verify stage3<tab>.asc space stage3<tab <enter>,
32) sha256sum --check stage3<tab.sha256 stage3<tab><enter>,
