I have seen the gentoo site. Instructions were there for iso files. Here in diq CD various other folders exist in addition to gentoo folder. I wanted to know the method to install it. main gentoo folder has three files corresponding to three isos specified by gentoo. gentoo subfolder gives some bin file. How to go about it?
