Gentoo Linux Handbooks Sven Vermeulen This is a replacement document for the old Gentoo Handbook. The new Handbook is architecture-specific (well, almost) and therefore the use of the handbook.xml name is obsoleted. 1.1 2004-04-05 The Gentoo Linux Handbooks
Ehh??? Where is it?

The old Gentoo Handbook (the one with all the architectural instructions in it) has been obsoleted in favor of the new, architecture-specific Gentoo Handbook.

Note though that this architecture-specific aspect is not 100% valid -- the new Handbook still refers to other architectures at some points. This is because the Gentoo Handbook contains lots of information that is valid for all architectures and we don't want to duplicate this information across all versions (due to resource constraints, avoid duplication of efforts, etc.).

We will try to keep this to a minimum to avoid confusion.
