there is some information about this in the handbook [1]. There even is a special handbook for installation without internet [2]. Double check this but I am nearly sure there is no DVD / BlueRay with all the packages available from gentoo. This has two reasons. First: As far as I know this would be more than 80 gb by now. Second an more important: they change every day. kh [1]http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap2 [2]http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2008.0/index.xml
