That's the way to go imo, but a desktop guide should be usefull for the cases |

where you are in trouble, that is when the detection doesn't work. |

I remember installing my second gentoo on a running linux, mounting stage1 cd |
| 18 |
iso in loopback. So no boot, no detection. Of course it's unusual, but if the |
| 19 |
guide can be some kind of reference, I think it's a usefull feature. |
