I have tried some GUI based distros but would like to try Gentoo linux

I have bought the magazine Linux Format NO LFX58D DVD edition that came with the distro Gentoo 2004.2 read the instructions but it gets rether tricky if you do not have a internet active at the time of intallation not with my win modem (rubish)

Any one has Any ideas how to start an intallation?
