It's 2023 and most end user machines do not have a CD or DVD. The handbook has no instructions on how to use a USB to do an install. Just says that it may be different. Hints on the website are to use a livegui, but no instructions. Have to websearch to get to this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Install_Gentoo_on_a_bootable_USB_stick Oh, but it's not the right one. More searching and this might be it? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LiveUSB After getting through unnecessary preamble text, the isohybrid chokes on the minimal install image, so apparently you need a livegui image to install from a usb. Come on y'all! Seriously??? What's with this ridiculousness?? This is a terrible user experience to install gentoo! Fix it please!!
All our isos are already hybrid and can be directly dd'd or run through a tool like unetbootin or rufus. I agree that the handbook should state this directly. But seriously, just dd it. We'll work on updating docs.
Handbook mentions writing with dd in this section: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media#Writing_with_dd Changes added by zen_desu, here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Handbook%3AParts%2FInstallation%2FMedia&type=revision&diff=1273604&oldid=1273365
