It is largely irrelevant to most new installs. Regardless, first hit when googling "gentoo liveusb" http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml - unetbootin is so trivially easy that there are no instructions that Gentoo provides, afaik. Step 1, download iso. Step 2, hit button on unetbootin's GUI. > > This is getting off-topic in any case.
