Unfortunately I gave up. I need this laptop up and running tuesday, and gave ubuntu a chance. So I now cannot try anymore. I posted a message in the gentoo thread just after this thread, about documentation of non network systems. I beleive it is not only broken, but also far too cluttering for network installs. But that is off topic here. > On my fully functional and installed gentoo system, the '--usepkgonly' will > give you exactly the same errors you posted. Which packages is it looking > for online?

You'll probably see some old friends there. :-) I, indeed got the exact same errors. Which brings me to beleive the non-network install is simply broken, or at least the documentation lacks some important part on setting a flag, or a config option.
