I'm not sure, but probably yes. but it's better if you download the latest
ISO ;)
2) Is it *REALLY* necessary to download a 700 meg (*COMPRESSED*) full-
blown system with pointy-clicky-touchie-feelie-oowee-GUI to do a
commandline install that could normally be done by a minimal install
image a fraction of that size?
no. you can download the file "install-<arch>-minimal-<date>.iso" from one
of Gentoo mirrors. it's a little more than 100 MiB.
use unetbootin to "copy" the ISO to your USB key and boot your computer wit=
h
it. and follow the handbook as if you were installing Gentoo from the CD.
