As last resort, if your "arch" is at at least "i686" you could use the liveCD-2006.0 directly (to install) or start it and using "quickpkg" make your own binary packages. Save them elsewhere, and use later. If arch < i686 can't help. BTW: check for "Kuroraa-0.2" or better "RR4-3.0b", the second is a half full DVD with many packages (may be even too many ;) - Gentoo derivates.
