If the platform offers you access to the VGA output via VNC or whatever |
| 8 |
and lets you mount an ISO in a virtual DVD drive, it pretty much works |
| 9 |
like any other Gentoo install. |

Another option is to shrink your filesystem and partition, make a new |
| 12 |
partition and install Gentoo from the old install. |

You could also try to make Grub boot into an ISO in your /boot |
| 15 |
partition. If you don't have access to the VGA output, you could try to |
| 16 |
find a ISO that starts an SSH server automatically and lets you set the |
| 17 |
password via the kernel cmdline. |
