What sort of attitude is that to tempt new users to Gentoo, or anyone for |
2 |
that matter. Surely the installer should be aiming to make installation not |
3 |
just easier but also easier and better than the rest. Otherwise what's the |
4 |
point? If that's your attitude you might as well not bothered with the |
5 |
installer and just told everyone to read the manual instead!! I think Norman |
6 |
has a valid point and your answer doesn't do his question justice. I'm |
7 |
concerned that there are potential new users who could add to Gentoo, who |
8 |
are going elsewhere because of confusing options and attitudes that don't |
9 |
help anyone. |
