What is the problem installing Gentoo from a different liveCD, e.g. Knoppix,
then?
As I've said in a earlier email, they are good at making live CDs, take
advantage of it, Gentoo's repository is good and suits the need of people who
want choices and customisation, take advantage of that too.
What extra do you archieve if you install your Gentoo from a Gentoo LiveCD
instead of a Knoppix CD? None!
Stop binding you mind to the concept that "I have to install a Gentoo from a
Gentoo CD", it's not true, start looking at a broader perspective.
Installing Gentoo from other LiveCDs/distros is just as easy as installing from
a Gentoo LiveCD: fdisk, mount, chroot, and emerge. All of these steps are well
documented too.
