Perhaps we could take a slightly different approach. What if we changed our |
| 2 |
standard install procedures to include placing /home on it's own partition, |
| 3 |
adding a strong recommendation to the state1 and 2 documentation that new |
| 4 |
users should begin with stage3 installs, and add a section to the doc for |
| 5 |
rebuilding an installation without losing everything? This would give new |
| 6 |
users who start with stage3 installs with a path forward if they choose to |
| 7 |
experiment with stage1 or 2 installs after the become familiar with gentoo. |

Just a thought. |
