Can I boot into linux using the LIveCD, and then insted of choosing the commandline installer or the pretty GLI installer, Could I open a terminal and do a manual install of say, a stage 3 install?

The "old" way is still supported like a charm. Just ignore the 2006.0 handbook and use the other one :wink:

Yes. However, you'll probably want to use sudo in order to acquire a root shell, for example:
Code:
# sudo su -

You may just as well download the "installcd" ISO image if you have no intention of using the gentoo-installer and you can be sure that you will have Internet connectivity throughout as it is considerably smaller.
