See if Knoppix supports it yet. If it does, you are good to go. Anything that is bootable, has chroot and its friends available should work. It doesn't have to be Gentoo specific. You could do like I do. I copy everything over to another drive, then do whatever to my main drive then copy it back. I have done that several times and it works pretty well. Dale :-) :-)
