Exactly. |

Moreover, I'd go on to say that the fact Gentoo is installable from |
| 8 |
almost every reasonable Linux-based live cd is a defining Gentoo |
| 9 |
feature. The real Gentoo installer is the combination of the tarball |
| 10 |
(the data) and the manual (the algorithms). |

|
| 12 |
The fact that an "official" Gentoo live cd exists is just a happy gift |
| 13 |
from developers, and a way to guarantee that there is a reference |
| 14 |
environment from which Gentoo can be installed. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
While nearly every other distro requires its own live cd installer, |
| 17 |
Gentoo (or any Gentoo-like system) requires just a working live cd and a |
| 18 |
stage tarball. From there, you go. It's *you* that decide *your* |
| 19 |
installation environment, depending on *your* needs. I used Knoppix |
| 20 |
once, and Kubuntu another; I think I've never used the "official" Gentoo CD. |
