[gentoo-user] Make Gentoo Live USB Stick

[Frank Peters]

Hello,

This question more than likely has been posted before, either to
this or some other list.  If so, then please let me know and I'll
start searching.

I want to make a Gentoo Live bootable USB stick using the available
Gentoo Live DVD iso.  Can this be done by simply copying the iso file
to the USB drive with a utility like dd?  Or are there some special files
that need to be copied to the boot sector?

Unetbootin (unetbootin.sf.net) is a GUI program that claims to do this,
but there must be a simpler CLI alternative.
