After that, you should be able to install Sabayon by restarting the laptop, tapping F8 (or F10 or F2, depending on laptop model) to get a Boot Menu, then selecting the DVD drive.
Changed to Sabayon, and going to install it this Friday with guidance from an acquaintance.

I have no idea which file(s) I should download. All of them?
The difference between amd64 and x86 is the CPU support, if your CPU supports amd64, it makes sense to use that version over the x86 version because the amd64 version will support more memory and the advanced functions of the CPU for faster speed. The x86 version is for older and low-end CPUs (i.e. Intel Atom or AMD Geode netbooks, Intel Pentium 4 or older and AMD Athlon XP or older computers).
Personally, I suggest either getting the Mate amd64 or the xfce amd64 one (my personal preference will be the xfce one, since it's most similar to my custom OpenSuSE and Ubuntu setup). If you want something a little more fancy, then the go for the KDE amd64 one. I strongly suggest avoiding the GNOME one, because GNOME has become so stupid over the years that some upset users spun off ("forked") Mate from the last good version. The Minimal and SpinBase versions are for expert users, so don't get those. SteamBox, well, you know what that one's good for, but since SteamBox is new and will use a lot of hard disk space, I strongly suggest avoiding it for now.
Btw, in case you still want enlightenment, just use any of the versions and follow this guide: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Install_e17">https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?titl ... nstall_e17</a><!-- m -->
