When I download the ISO, where would I need to put packages for portage to read off my CD? Any other tips would be helpfull :)

Portage looks in /usr/portage/distfiles (by default) to see if it already has the appropriate tarball before attempting to download it. If you put a load of tarballs on a CD, you need to copy them to that directory, mount the CD at that point, or set the DISTDIR environment variable to point to the directory of your liking.

Is that what you are after?
