| VMware Virtual Machine | gentoolight-vm-2011-05-11.7z 431MB MD5 | This is the virtual machine wich can be run on Windows and Linux Host systems. Use it for Gentoo tests, as server or anything else. It's also the base for the other downloads below. |
| Bootable ISO Image | gentoolight-2011-05-11.iso 579MB MD5 | Live CD with the portage tree. Boot it directly or load it to the VMware machine and boot the ISO. You can burn this image on a CD or extract the squashed FS for an USB disk. Set 'vmwareguest' and 'res=...' in the boot options. |
| Bootable ISO Image | gentoolight-nop-2011-05-11.iso 451MB MD5 | Live CD without the portage tree. Boot it directly or load it to the VMware machine and boot the LiveCD as a VM. You can burn this image on a CD or extract the squashed FS for an USB disk. Set 'vmwareguest' and 'res=...' in the boot options. |
| Feature | Version / Description |
|---|---|
| Kernel | gentoo-sources-2.6.36-r8 Note: the source is "ready to use" in /usr/src/linux |
| Architecture | i686 (32 bit) |
| Hardware | Most modules are compiled into the kernel and they are not auto-detected by genkernel or whatever. Only some well known hardware is compiled into the kernel - if you're missing something, take the VM and compile the kernel with your hardware in it. |
| Portage | Funtoo/Gentoo unstable |

| Bootable ISO Image | gentoolight-2010-08-03.iso 890MB MD5 | Live DVD with the portage tree. Boot it directly or load it to the VMware machine and boot the ISO. This image doesn't fit on a CD. Set 'vmwareguest' and 'res=...' in the boot options. Note: set the option -dvd-compat if you work with growisofs. |
| Bootable ISO Image | gentoolight-nop-2010-08-03.iso 414MB MD5 | Live CD without the portage tree. Boot it directly or load it to the VMware machine and boot the LiveCD as a VM. You can burn this image on a CD. Set 'vmwareguest' and 'res=...' in the boot options. |

Note about the keymap: if the boot kernel command line contains "keymap=XY", the init script prepare-hal will overwrite the keymap layout in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi . This feature is handy for CD/USB boot, but not in VMs. If you're running just a VM, change the keymap layout once in these files:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi (for X11)
/etc/conf.d/keymaps (for console)
The virtual harddisk (.vmdk file) may grow to 25GB max. If you use more, create a new HD with VMware Workstation or an online tool an copy the contents to the bigger HD.
