Gentoo book doesnt explain anything,there is no actual guides on jewtube and there is no "install the os" app on the launch icon.
IT ALSO WANTS A SUDO PASSWORD WHICH I HAVENT EVEN SET UP,WHAT?

If a live image wants a password, it's usually the username, distro name, or just "password"

Still does not work. Even if i had the sudo password,how could i even install the os itself,if there is no "install the os" app?

You know what? Heck it,ill dump it and not use it. Will try something else then.

No way this isn't bait but all the liveGUI iso does is give you a desktop environment pretty much as a way to easily view the handbook in a browser. You still have to follow the manual the same way you would from a minimal install iso, except now you use a terminal emulator window instead of a raw terminal, and its easier to copy paste and multitask from firefox instead of lynx/links terminal web browser fuckery

Its definitely the way I recommend everyone who hasn't made their own scripts to install. Just make sure you are actually reading before pasting lines blindly from the manual like a retard.

Typing them in manually has the side effect of forcing you to at least partially walk through the components of each command and how they work, plus makes you scrutinize whether each command is required because typing so much high entropy shit without understanding is annoying, but just don't be a zogslave and RTFM nigga

isn't the live install like 8gb. Just use mint for that

Mint doesn't have portage. But you could do this if you used a stage 1 and 2 instead of a stage 3
