Don't give up! They say "If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again." You must not be real interested in making it at all if you give up that easy. It all has to do with paying attention to detail and not typing so fast that you get noodle fingers (#1 cause of people locking themselves out of their accounts), and everything will eventually work.
Like Mr Spork, I also write about my interest in alcoholic beverages.

So then laying on your couch with your laptop in front of the tv with a bowl of soup is the perfect time to read anarchySI's article.

mkdir -p ~/livecd/source

  3. mkdir -p ~/livecd/source

"emerge" is Gentoo's installation program, so that's saying (paraphrased):
  • install squashfs-tools and cdrtools.
  • change directory to your home directory ("~" is the shortcut for your home directory - /home/your_username)
  • Create a livecd/source directory in your home directory, so you have /home/your_username/livecd/source/
