The point is that hundreds of people on this list have installed Gentoo in
the past couple of weeks and have not run accross the issues you seem to be
seeing. You must admit that if you are the only one experiencing these
problems the question begs to be asked: What am I doing wrong.
Your initial attitude was that someone at Gentoo or their mirror sites has
messed up. I think that the fact that no one else has confirmed your
assumptions proves that it is you, and not the mirrors that have "messed up"
Try the install again. Forget EVERYTHING you think you know about Linux and
follow the instructions verbatum. If a former RedHat user, with almost no
command line experience like me can install Gentoo, certainly you can.
And, when you experience problems, post a question here. Try to ask with a
bit of a "pleading" attitude rather than your present "WTF" attitude and
someone here will be happy to help
