| Umm, you just need to do a manual install and only install what you want, be that X or anything else. USE flags (eg ldap or kerberos) sometimes pull in supporting stuff as well, so go easy on those. If you want to dl all the sources first, your best bet is to run emerge -f xorg-server after you've done the base install. |

Righto. Tailor it to your needs. That's about it.

Go for it. I think you'd need to set it up first, mind  |

Not to be nitpicky, but gentoo itself really doesn't have any source to be compiled. The individual packages to be installed on your system do. This is obvious to anyone who has been using Linux/Gentoo, but the OP might not be aware of how Linux works.
