If you want to do a really rushed install of Gentoo, do a stage 3, and use the Kernel from your boot media. Then there's basically no compiling at all. I'm not suggesting it's a good way, but if you're desperate to have it running NOW, than this would work. It was a reply generally aimed at people saying Gentoo takes too long to install. Add precompiled binaries, and you're pretty much set. Things like VI or Vixie Cron take only a couple of minuites, even on a slow box, so this should cut the install time to maybe an hour or less.
