I think everyone has also missed that there *is* the ability to install Gentoo completely offline. I've done it before on a laptop without any Internet access, besides doing it for QA during releases. We do not expect the user to have a web browser, broadband, or Internet access of any kind to perform an installation. Using the installation documents as an example of "requiring a web browser" is asinine. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-VJHI33Va86kVgKCGwRMP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDa25ZkT4lNIS36YERArddAKC/SXvik8m8PLp7mA2KjF7YVJWt2gCggdMa T15kr555vdYgKoVbeMWzHf0= =PW13 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-VJHI33Va86kVgKCGwRMP-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
