I got to the point in the install guide where it says to emerge a kernel.
I can't emerge anything because I'm not on the network.

Well, you could install from a stage 3 CD but you will never be able to
upgrade anything without network. Gentoo is pretty much a "network
distribution". You seem to be out of luck.
On the other hand, how did you send your email without *any* network access?
Uwe
There are networkless install handbooks availible.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml See the last link in
step 2. I agree with the last poster, gentoo will be pretty difficult to
maintain without a network connection, on the otherhand it will be
pretty secure ;) Basically I would recommend downloading the proper
distfiles from the mirrors and then putting them in
/usr/portage/distfiles and you will be all set.
I got it installed without a network and I compiled my wireless modules. :-)
Unfortunately I do not have the dhcp distfile so I can't start my
wireless interface. :-(
I'll have to grab that with Windoze and then I'll be good to go :-)
