| We want (at least) an installer so that not-so-expert linux users can |
| 7 |
| install gentoo. That is, it must be GUI, simple, short. In my |
| 8 |
| opinion, installation should not include config tools that can be run |
| 9 |
| after installation. |
| 10 |
| |
| 11 |
| The installer should detect as much as possible, provide language |
| 12 |
| selection, disk partitionning, package selection, root passwd, maybe |
| 13 |
| network, and X config. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Network and X config can be done after installation, which is not what |
| 16 |
you/we want as mentioned above :) |
| 17 |
X config, at least, will need to be done automaticly during boot before |
| 18 |
the installer is started anyway.. |

| We could use the livecd, build some graphical interface that asks |
| 21 |
| minimal question to be able to install, add some scripts that copy |
| 22 |
| the needed stuff on the harddrive, set up portage, and X. |
| 23 |

QInGen, once I remove configuration things, will ask minimal number of |
| 25 |
questions... I'm not sure what to do with the licensing stuff yet |
| 26 |
though. Currently, it requires the user to check the checkbox next to |
| 27 |
every license (displaying them when clicked on). What do we legally need |
| 28 |
as far as a license agreement dialog? |
