Did you get the minimal live CD? If possible, try to get the live cd that at least contains a stage3 tarbal, a portage snapshot, and some precompiled packages. As a side note: for a PC running on low specs I would recommend using a window manager like WindowMaker or IceWM. Both of them are very lightweight. Regards Dirk
