Exactly.
Moreover, I'd go on to say that the fact Gentoo is installable from
almost every reasonable Linux-based live cd is a defining Gentoo
feature. The real Gentoo installer is the combination of the tarball
(the data) and the manual (the algorithms).
The fact that an "official" Gentoo live cd exists is just a happy gift
from developers, and a way to guarantee that there is a reference
environment from which Gentoo can be installed.
While nearly every other distro requires its own live cd installer,
Gentoo (or any Gentoo-like system) requires just a working live cd and a
stage tarball. From there, you go. It's *you* that decide *your*
installation environment, depending on *your* needs. I used Knoppix
once, and Kubuntu another; I think I've never used the "official" Gentoo CD.
