No need to explain.  Until recently, this list was the only discussion list
for gentoo.  I would post to gentoo-user about issues first to actually
determine if it is a bug.  Perhaps it's a case like this where you were
missing a flag or something.  Once it's determined to be a bug, a detailed
bug report should be posted to gentoo-dev.  Hopefully, we'll have a
bug-tracking system setup for taking in bug reports in a consistent
fashion.

I saw your questions, but wanted to let drobbins comment on them.  He
creates/coordinates the install images.  I imagine others felt the same
way.

Don't get me wrong.  You're questions are fine.  I'm just trying to remind
everyone of the gentoo-user list so we can separate the functionality.
