I have downloaded the Gentoo Install CD and the Program CD (BSNL DataOne
is unlimited till June:)
Now, the base system is installed and working, though I missed the point
that Gentoo needs boot to be on a separate partition than the root. So,
while booting, it gets confused and I have to specify the boot location.

The Gentoo install instruction says the installation can be from the CDs
as well from net. But the instruction they have given for installation
from CD is 'emerge', which unfortunately looks for the net. So,
ultimately I was forced to install the base system off the net, even
though I had the CD.

How do I tell Gentoo to look at the CD and not the net ?
