At the Gentoo home thier is a document about creating a local gentoo mirror. Trouble is there are about 10GB of distfiles of which you will want to use 1-2GB
but it should be straight forward eneough.

But will the below method allow me to grab all the

opportunity of having a T1 d/l pipe, thus allowing
me to "install" off the local drive at my leisure
when I lose the T1?

I need to d/l *everything* while I have the chance.

Where should I start in this endeavour?


D/L the appropriate CD1 from here:-

ftp://203.96.92.95/gentoo/releases/x86/1.4/livecd

Cut the .iso image to a CD.
( Yes you do need to do this step. It makes it so much easier. On pain of
death, real uber-gurus could probably start off from Tom's Root and Boot,
but I'd have to start by booting a CD.  :-)

Boot it.
Mount the CD on /mnt/cdrom
Follow the instructions, the command to use is:-
links file:///mnt/cdrom/install.html

There are a few issues with the X-11 server to be sorted out, but it's not
difficult.
