Hm. Did you try the "Get Gentoo!" link on the gentoo homepage? Any mirror should contain the 2004.0 ISO's.

Kernel version is what you want it to be; default 2.4.something, I believe.

The docs would be a good place to start:

Get the iso from the download mirrors:

If you are looking for more precise version info, I just looked at the 2004.0 universal CD ...

The 2 kernels you can boot the CD with are :
gentoo = 2.4.24-xfs-r3
smp = 2.6.1-gentoo-r2

If you are installing Gentoo with internet access, you can choose any kernel you want, but if you can't (or don't want to) download kernel sources, these 2 are available on the LiveCD :
vanilla-sources-2.4.24
gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r2

Just out of curiousity, where exactly on the universal cd are the kernel sources, and how would you go about emerging them??

The Universal CD is supposed to allow a net-free install, but I couldn't get it to work - the first barrier being the emerge of the kernel sources without a network.

I used the 2004.0 Universal CD.

In order to do a net-free install, this is one of the steps you need to do.
