what is the difference with the different downloads: ?
Gentoo 2007.0 Universal install CD
Gentoo 2007.0 LiveDVD
Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD/InstallCD
Gentoo 2007.0 Universal install CD
Gentoo 2007.0 LiveDVD
Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD/InstallCD
The
Gentoo 2007.0 Universal install CD is the full version installation cd
Gentoo 2007.0 LiveDVD is the rescue cd
Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD/InstallCD is the minimal installation cd
Gentoo 2007.0 Universal install CD is the full version installation cd
Gentoo 2007.0 LiveDVD is the rescue cd
Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD/InstallCD is the minimal installation cd
Then minimal CD makes you do the most work during the installation, you learn more, while the universal version has some automated setup routines on it. The LiveCD doesn't require an installation, it allows you to start Gentoo directly from the CD and work with it, without installing anything. There are many distro's with LiveCD, Knoppix and Ubuntu are some of the best known.
