Yes. I have made Knoppix live disk but not Gentoo.I like Knoppix live, I tried to load it to hard drive a couple of times but failed.It is not easy to load .But the live disk is loadable,Damn Small Linux was made by stripping down Knoppix.Many Linux are live disk that you can load to hard drive.It is easy to download the ISO and burn it to disk,Now I have a large number of Linux disk. Oh.Maybe the reason I have not gotten Gentoo is because it is a three disk set like Suse 10. I just didnt want to do a three disk set.You can use one DVD though,I think. If you have a device that needs a lot of work to install the driver you often come out ahead by getting a compatable device. You can find out which works with your linux version by going to the forum for that version.An example would be a soundcard.Often I just use a Creative Live soundcard because they work. Wireless I use Netgear MA 311, the only way i get online now is by wireless but i can find out which card you an use to get cable or dsl working with linux.try the live disk and many work with what you have.If Voyager returns he can help with any linux question.
