I am a noob with gentoo and linux. Are you trying to make it
harder for me to install gentoo, and make it take more time? <br>
gentoo was my first real attempt at linux, and I installed it as I read
the handbook. I didnt read and master the handbook before
starting the install.<br>
If you believe that someone having trouble with gentoo would ask it on
a list instead of reading the handbook. Then might they
just ask the questions from the test?<br>
