Unknown significance of sh4, absence of string "32", coupled with string "unknown", having read that what I want is under autobuild, after having looked all over mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo finding only DVD sized iso files regardless whether base URL included amd64 or *32*, and finding lots of differently aged alternatives for everything *except* the minimal installation CD. http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-install-amd64-minimal/stage3-amd64-20150730.tar.bz2 found I assumed because "current" would direct me past the post-Grub2 milestone. > You want amd64, not sh4. And why would you want a stage from 2012? Answered above (and in other thread I started in recent hours here). > http://lmgtfy.com/?q=download+gentoo Pages like that leads to are like Windows and Sourceforge software hosts where after muddling past licenses and assumption what one's looking for has anything to do with the puter used to search and script links autostarting download with web browser instead of wget I just stay away from their download links whenever I can find a direct route going straight to a mirror and see the hosting context, and very important to me, the file's timestamp, so that I can ensure the resulting download timestamp matches the host's timestamp whenever possible. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
