I have to go the complete opposite direction from this. I'd stay away
from the graphical installer at least for a releases yet - IMO it isn't
a very stable product yet (no offense installer team, just needs more
time) and is known to break things on a regular basis. Put in the time,
do it by hand, and do it properly, configuring your own kernel and such.
It'll be worth it, because by the time you first boot your Gentoo,
you'll already know exactly what's in it.
