Hi Majid,

I know nothing about accessibility systems but the meat of installing Gentoo is essentially just you executing a bunch of instructions inside of a chroot. You can start with any distro that currently provides accessibility for you, set aside some disk space, chroot into it and then do the Gentoo install work there. If the distro you start with can read what's going on in that terminal as well as the install instructions off the web pages for this task then I think you should be good to go.

Hope this helps,

Mark
