If you have the universal cd then yes, you can do a networkless install. Its all in the handbook.

Actually, most people who do a regular Gentoo installation (with network access) assume that their networking will "just work" because it was working on the LiveCD. Sadly, this is not the way it works.
The most important thing to get right is your kernel configuration. If the driver for your NIC is missing, then it will never work. Beyond that, you may need to configure something in /etc/conf.d/net if you are not using DHCP ... |
