This should help explain how to install from knoppix: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml

No idea about the error though...

ok and 1 more quick question....is it possible to use wireless during the install so i dont have to go searching around for another eth cable

I think it's very dependent on which wireless... but I know nothing about it. I'm sure you can find whether your wireless is supported on these forums somewhere!

ok now i really feel like an idiot cause i cant figure out the cdcache thing...it still wont let me unmount says that its busy

ok this is what ive come up with so far...there is an option to do a knoppix toram but a problem that i have is that i dont have enough ram to load it from the ram....so im wondering if there is a way to maybe not load so much bullshit that knoppix does as in pointless programs with kde and such? so maybe i can cut the knoppix load to less than 512 mb

I'm fairly sure you can start knoppix without kde - it would be one of the boot options. In fact (some googling later), try knoppix 2 cdcache when it boots.
