I am a noob with gentoo and linux. Are you trying to make it harder for me |
| 2 |
to install gentoo, and make it take more time? |
| 3 |
gentoo was my first real attempt at linux, and I installed it as I read the |
| 4 |
handbook. I didnt read and master the handbook before starting the install. |
| 5 |
If you believe that someone having trouble with gentoo would ask it on a |
| 6 |
list instead of reading the handbook. Then might they just ask the questions |
| 7 |
from the test? |
