<title>Gentoo Weekly Minimal Install CD and Stages</title>
<body>

<p>
Our Release Engineering team provides new minimal install CDs and stages on a
<e>weekly</e> basis. You can find these releases on any of our mirrors in
<path>/releases/&lt;arch&gt;/current-iso/</path> or
<path>/releases/&lt;arch&gt;/current-stage3/</path>. Not every architecture is
updated on the same day. Not all architectures release CD images.
</p>

<p>
Since these releases are built automatically by Release Engineering servers,
there is some chance that a stage or CD may not be produced for a given week.
When this happens, just use the latest CD and stage available. More releases are
available on our mirrors in <path>/releases/&lt;arch&gt;/autobuilds/</path>. Use
this directory if there isn't anything recent enough in
<path>current-iso/</path> or <path>current-stage3/</path>.
