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A .tar.bz2 file is usually a group of files that have been archived using the tar utlily.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.
