You COULD install from the GRP CD images. That should get you up and
running in the time frame you're talking about. The disadvantage is
that you will be loosing a lot of the individual optomizations that
make Gentoo special. With the GRP precompiled binaries, you can install
an X server and KDE in minutes instead of days but it is likely that an
emerge -u world will take quite a while (24 hours perhaps) but at least
the machine will be usable durring that time.
Somebody that has installed from GRP should jump in here and correct me
if I'm wrong....
