Nope, the CD does not install because there is a bug (looks more like a
huge 'Baagh' than a bug :(
Ref :

Quoting****
Note: Running emerge gentoo-sources will fail due to a bug with the
Universal Installation CD. Please make sure you run emerge
=gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1 instead. This has no further effect on your
environment as Portage will automatically download a more recent kernel
source when updating your system (after the installation).

Code Listing 2: Installing a kernel source

# echo "=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1 ~amd64" >>
/etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1
Quote end*************

The above also does not work, not even with 'r1' substituted with 'r3'
as is in the CD.
