Introduction to Gentoo
Gentoo is a free operating system based on Linux.This repository provides mirrors of Gentoo's Stage3 installation.A stage3 installation is the only supported method of installation.
A stage file is an archive which serves as the seed for a Gentoo environment. Stage 3 files can be downloaded from releases/amd64/autobuilds/ on any of the official Gentoo mirrors. Stages are updated frequently and are therefore not included within official live images.
Configuration During Installation
Go to the Gentoo Downloads page, right-click the link to the desired Stage 3 file, and copy it to your clipboard. Replace the original base URL:
https://distfiles.gentoo.org/
with the following:
https://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/gentoo/
Then use the modified URL in the subsequent installation steps.
