Story: Linux goes Live on Gentoo CD release

If you are expecting a Knoppix or Kanotix like 'live demo', be warned and don't waste your time on
install-x86-universal-2004.3-r1.iso
Gentoo has a curious definintion of 'Live', at least compared to Knoppix and Kanotix. The demo I just wasted a CDRW on and an hour downloading
- dropped into a text prompt,
- 'startx' was not a recognized command,
- No help to be had from the brief text intro.
In short it may be live or bootable CD, but it is certainly not a 'live demo' as nothing was demonstrated.
