 directory of any mirror. But I'd stick with System Rescue
 CD, it's so
 easy to install to a USB stick.
 
 



Arrrgh! I can't get it.

 I was planning to put the i686-2008.0-LiveCD-installer on a USB stick and 
 install it on a Asus 900A eeePC. But I understand the kernel on the CD is 
 v2.6.27 and therefore there is no Atheros driver for the eee's on-board 
 wifi. Can someone confirm this? 
 
 If true, can I simply add the driver after the fact? Any body done this 
 successfully?


You may want to take a look at the SystemRescueCd [1] afaik it is based
on gentoo and more up to date. It is also possible to install it on a
live-cd.

Of course I want to say. You can install it on an usb-stick :-)

You could also use a more recent Gentoo CD, look in the autobuilds
directory of any mirror. But I'd stick with System Rescue CD, it's so
easy to install to a USB stick.
