thank you, I just do this from the Terminal or what?

Correct. All of the tools you need should be on the LiveCD.

ok i might have misunderstood something but when i boot up i dont have the password for root so i just waited for the countdown to finish then it booted into the desktop enviorment

well i went to
4. Preparing the Disks

then i am told to fire up fdisk

gentoo@livecd ~ $ fdisk /dev/hda
bash: fdisk: command not found

EDIT::
now that i look at it the terminal doesn't seem to read any commands.. does the same thing with poweroff command. Should I just use another liveCD or am I doin this wrong? I also couldn't find the terminal app in the menu so i ran the text installer then choose a new tab.
