What about all of those old drivers that are often removed from the newer minimal CDs? This can lead to many false starts on the installation process. I've usually had to use 2006 CD for such installs: http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20061127-newsletter.xml As these installs take a while, which I do not mind, but, having to make 3 or 4 stabs at the installation per machine, is painful. Every time I install one it takes 3 or 4 attempts to get things right. GNAP would be ideal, but it's not scheduled for a facelift until the "summer of coding" work is complete I'm only using the machines for minimal tasks such as primary/secondary name service, firewalls and small mail servers....
