Well, I'm a normal user here, and I can install gentoo quite easily without reading the documentation. it's dead simple: prepare the disks -> get the stage tarballs -> chroot -> bootstrap/emerge -e system -> build the kernel -> build the bootloader -> a few config tweaks. Onces one gets the idea, i don't see how a gentoo installation is harder than a RH or debian or suse one. -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
