1. You need an install CD, also called the live CD (.iso)
2. A data CD with a stage (.tar.bz2) on it
In Gentoo- a stage is a collection of programs that have been pre-compiled. The higher the stage, the more pre-compiled programs you get. The larger the file size of the stage tar ball.
A
.tar.bz2 file is usually a group of files that have been archived using the
tar utlily. Then, it is run through the
bz2 compression algorithm.
