Installing Gentoo through Knoppix?

Forgive me if this has been touched on, I did not find it in my search:

I am thinking about installing gentoo on another of my computers, but would not like to be without use of it for a couple of days. I read a bit in 'Knoppix Hacks' that suggested using a Knoppix LiveCD to install gentoo. This sounds great, and I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I cannot imagine that their would be too many problems with this, but better to ask.

Also, Is there perhaps a bootable Gentoo Live CD with xorg that you could point me too? That would be better than using one flavor to install another in my opinion...

Thanks!

I did and there is an alternative installations guide on gentoo.org

Gentoo LiveCD with X would be vidalinux

Installing from Knoppix should not be that problematic...
