I try to install from minimal-cdrom, and then stage3, but I dont find portage


and I think having only 640MB of ram the compilations would be very slow

you can simply execute emerge-webrsync to get a portage

32bit userland may save some memory or use swap if needed, and I think its more depends on CPU speed.

silo for sure, I can't remember the details, I was following the manual at the time, and there shouldn't be anything special about the configuration.
