Well, actually you can now boot the livecd and install with a GUI
fairly quickly, I don't know if you could before. That's not the cool
way to install Gentoo, but it works fairly well. If you do decide to
install that way, trust me, don't do a networkless install: it only
installs a bare bones system meaning no dhclient, kernel sources or
anything. You may already know that, but I thought I should throw that
out there just in case.
