In contrast, the second CD ("CD 2") isn't bootable and contains lots of pre-built packages for your system. Included on this CD are optimized versions of packages such as KDE, GNOME, OpenOffice, Mozilla, Evolution and others. CD 2 is optional and is intended for those people who are interested in installing Gentoo Linux very quickly. The packages included on CD 2 typically take about 36 hours to compile from source on a typical modern single-processor system. If you have an ISO CD-ROM image file for CD 2, its name will end in " -cd2.iso ".
