Have you tried to install without the tk/tcl/tcltk use flag? Personally, I installed with the default flags set, in fact, I told it networkless install and was up and running in about 40 minutes (366MHz) - The installer works, but not every single USE flag combination can be tested. You can *always* change a flag after you have the system installed. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
