You should have no problem installing Gentoo using a Knoppix CD, or any other |
8 |
Linux live or install CD that will support a network connection and give you |
9 |
access to a shell CLI. You will need only to download the necessary stage |
10 |
tarballs, depending on which stage you want to install, mount your target hard |
11 |
drives and use chroot to work with them. I've done this plenty of times, and |
12 |
never needed a CD burner. |

There are explicit instructions for installing Gentoo when booting from a |
15 |
Knoppix CD at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml#doc_chap3. |
