Can i get an .iso image of all the source needed by gentoo

[paramthegreat]

hi all,
i tried gentoo 1.2 sometime ago but i had a small dialup connection & so installing gentoo was increasingly difficult. is there some site that offers the source code of all the common software needed by gentoo as an .iso image, so that i can copy the source from the cd, emerge the package & use gentoo
thanx

Well what you can do is use stage3. (for i686)
EDIT: Including URL to the i686 ISO
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/build/1.2/gentoo-i686-1.2.iso

However, if you want stuff for the other packages, you can run "emerge --fetchonly <packagename>" and it'll download it so you can install it later.

if your feeling really naughty, you can use the ftp server distfiles, pick and choose, but dependancies are going to be a major problem there.
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/

I for one would use a laptop or something, emerge --fetchonly at the fast place, then bring the stuff home and use the files it downloaded.

You can also try one of these CDs:
