[gentoo-dev] adsl and setup issues

["Marcus Rudolph" <marcus.rudolph@in.stud.tu-ilmenau.de>]

Hi!

I resently trippend over your distribution and now, about a week later, I'm
pretty impressed. Spending most of my time at the university setting Gentoo
up was a bliss and everything worked just marvelous.

This weekend I had to spend time off university, off net to put it in
perspective. So I took my notebook and tried to install over some adsl
connection not getting very far at first. A lot of hassle later that worked
to.

The reason I contact you is to urge you to make the installation a bit
easier especially over adsl dialup. Many people including many developers I
work with would like to try Gentoo but don't because they do not like
scanning newsgroups or message boards just for the sake of getting some
Linux running.

I really like the distribution and so I'd love to see you fixing that up,
rather sooner than later.
