You can "install" gentoo from anything that can boot the livecd (I think). I've written some instructions on how to get the livecd onto a usb key - it's surprisingly simple. I used it to install this laptop :) see http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/gentoo-linux-live-usb-key.html I would appreciate any suggestions and improvements to the steps, if you end up trying it.
