That statement is still true. I have done 3 networkless installations for this release, without a problem. I used the installer.

It's not like you can't get Gentoo running without a network connection anymore. -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 developer -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
