Translations:Stage tarball/15/en

Official stage 4 tarballs became available in January 2016 for the architecture on distfiles.gentoo.org. These tarballs contain a kernel and bootloader and therefore provide a bootable system. No automatic network detection is attempted, however, so they are not intended to replace the usual Handbook-based installation method starting from a minimal installation CD or Gentoo LiveDVD and a stage3 tarball. (The LiveDVD can be used to get a full, working Gentoo desktop system without first installing Gentoo. Users with access to the appropriate commands can also create a LiveUSB.)
