  <p>
    Please see the <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page" class="alert-link">Gentoo Handbook</a>
    for the complete installation documentation.
    It explains how you can find the right architecture for your machine and which files you need at what stage of the installation process.<br>
    In brief, a <strong>stage 3</strong> is a minimal set of Gentoo binaries that can upgrade and expand itself (but not much more, i.e., no kernel
    or boot loader). The desktop version already contains additional programs needed in a typical desktop installation. The installation CD can be
    used to boot and, well, install Gentoo.
