The main thing that will dictate the features, design and capabilities |
2 |
of the installer is the user group we want to target. I think everybody |
3 |
realizes this, and it has be mentioned other places. I feel this is |
4 |
very important we establish this up front. This way we will all be on |
5 |
the same page as to what installer will require. |

|

My thoughts on this are as follows: |
8 |
|
9 |
I think the target should be users that are "new to Gentoo" switching |
10 |
from other linux distributions. I do not think that Gentoo has the |
11 |
public popularity to attrack a large amount of "new to linux users." |
12 |
Most of the new to linux users will only choose to go with gentoo when |
13 |
the majority of stuff they look up about linux is about or mentions |
14 |
Gentoo. Maybe stage 2 of the installer project could be an |
15 |
installer(like the one Karltk was given) that is very simple and targets |
16 |
users that are new to linux. If we can get the users to switch to |
17 |
gentoo from the other distros then the new to linux users are sure to |
18 |
follow. |
