Depends on your connection speed and hardware.... There r 3 stages of install, if u start from stage1 it will take some real time for building the base system itself. Stage3 is already a built system..i.e its equivalent to cp -ax /mnt/existingsystem /newgentoosystem After that the time depends on the number of packages you choose... It would take a day or two if you have a fairly decent system with a decent connection.
