It failed during copying files.
And I have checked the md5 sum..
And I need to install it without inet since it only has a wifi card.
Since I never installed wifi on a linux system Id like to have a fully working system just before I start "playing" with wifi.

I know there is a way to do what you are asking(emerging the files from the cd), but I can't remember the details.
There is always the Alternative guide.
Installing from a livecd such as Mepis, Knoppix or Sabayon is really great.
As you can surf the net or play games while stuff is compiling.
All 3 of those livecds have great wireless support.If you want to learn more about linux take a linux journey

The answer to your original question is in the faqs
Building a Gentoo system while using a livecd won't put anything extra on your pc.
being a minimalast, using the Sabayon livecd for anything other than installation of Gentoo would definitely not be of any use to you as Sabayon is bloated.If you want to learn more about linux take a linux journey

Did it stop at "dev-lang/perl"?
I tried 2 separate discs, an older 1 I had form when 2007.0 amd64 came out, and a freshly downloaded version of 2007.0 amd64, both stopped at dev-lang/perl.
But I was able to install using the regular 32-bit version, just selecting "i686" on both the 2006.1 and 2007.0 versions.
All networkless installs.
Just curious, what kind of wireless card do you have?If you want to learn more about linux take a linux journey
