It is possible to get a Gentoo LiveCD running happily on a USB flash

Come to think of it, why wouldn't a simple:
dd if="/path/to/gentoo-livecd.iso" of=/dev/<flash drive>
not work? I think I've done the successfully with a Gentoo minimal
install CD, but I don't remember.
you can pretty much unpack any gentoo bootable live cd to a usb drive,
then run grub over it, and it's bootable (on newer systems).
