I completely disagree. I consider the Gentoo installation documentation
well structured, easy to follow and precise, and I don't know what your
statements like "most newbies would be helplessly confused" are supposed
to be based on. Please don't try to pass on your personal opinions as
facts without providing any proof. Show us a control group of newbies,
most of them helplessly confused, if you can. ;-)
