This doesn't address the wider implications of this dodgy checksums, but I think most people on this list install using SystemRescueCD. It's basically the same as Gentoo's install CDs, but with some minor extra features (although I can't remember what they are) which make it a bit better. The problems you describe certainly should be fixed, but if you want to get on with installing Gentoo today, it's SystemRescueCD I'd use. Stroller.
