Hi,

        I believe with the new live-CD there is a boot option.  If you hit
F2 at the baby blue boot splash screen it will give you a list of options.
If I recall you would type something like (this should allow you to
unmount the CD):
        boot: gentoo cdcache
If this doesn't work you can always extract the files off the gentoo cd to
a directory, add the files you need to the extracted directory and then
run mkisofs, something like:

mkisofs -r -o mygentoo.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /root-of-iso-tree

Then burn the new iso do disk.  I do this to add some personalizations to
my CD such as adding kernel source and other precompiled binaries that I
have built on a much faster machine for instance.... I've done this
for a while... concept similar to the new GRP idea.  Well good luck.
