I did it using Knoppix, IIRC.  Boot Knoppix, start brltty from ones own binary or Knoppix, partition and add FS and swap to your disk, download the bootstrap into it, unpack it, chroot into it, and begin setting up Gentoo, building dependencies, add kernel, download and build brltty, add an init script with an entry in the '.criticalservices' file, etc.

Ran that for 4 years, but it takes time away from life, or at least that's how I felt.  Still, at least I know sendmail now. :-)

Switched to Debian.  It works all right but Debian's policies are now quite definitely getting on my nerves.  So I am in search of another.

I'm happy to help you out with specific questions about Gentoo if you would like some spice in life and wish to use Gentoo yourself.  Be warned, though, this is if you have no problem breaking stuff and fixing it again.  Gentoo is a very good way to learn, very fast!
