The Gentoo LiveCD is really nothing more than a feel-nice tool for |
19 |
people who want to install Gentoo from a Gentoo tool; it is very much |
20 |
completely not required. |

Do your install from any medium you feel like as long as it has all the |
23 |
tools you need. |

I suppose you *could* emerge the zfs tools on the running LiveCD system |
26 |
if it supports fs merging but it's probably easier to use a medium that |
27 |
already has everything you want |
