I guess You didn't unpack the portage snapshot. Have a look at the Gentoo Handbook Chapter 5.d how to get that right.

You can; there's a snapshot on the Universal CD. :wink:

This handbook is specifically designed for networkless installs: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/handbook-x86.xml

Read the handbook first. There's a plain text copy on the cd. Then if you still can't find a solution search the forums first. Chances are good your problem has already been solved by/for somebody else who ran into it too.
