In this case it should be done in the same manner as a normal install of
Gentoo, but it can be good to skip logging, disable cron jobs and no swap, so
that you won't have too much write/reads.

I would suggest the Universal install CD, you can find that one at
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml

and then follow the instructions in the handbook
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml

If you have another architecture than the classic x86, then pick the right
manual from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml

If you have a PowerPC, seems like the Gentoo guys got lasy and removed quite
many architectures.

I followed the above command and tried, the command broke my CD_CROM because
the cd-rom drive have very strange laud noise ( look at it is broken when it
has never been dropped onto the ground ) I do not know.

"To make the changes permanent use the w command:

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

Warning: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x partitions, please see
the
fdisk manual page for additional information.
Syncing Disks"

in the writing syncing disk , it has a error , I formatted the compact flash
in windows XP as fat partition with a single file in the file and tried a
couple times. I let the cd-rom lay around for two days hoping to drain the
voltage inside the cd-rom and this morning I started again to read the
gentoo img from cd-rom and load the linux into memory and at the same time I
discovery this http://www.flutterby.com/ which very similar to the UK web
site instructing how to make a CF boot.

I need a million help from the smartest people that can help me!
