Isn't it intuitive anyways to have the programs selected to be added to use flags? it just makes sense wether or not someone reads the manual<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/28/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">LinuxMan

What sort of attitude is that to tempt new users to Gentoo, or anyone for<br>that matter. Surely the installer should be aiming to make installation not<br>just easier but also easier and better than the rest. Otherwise what's the
<br>point? If that's your attitude you might as well not bothered with the<br>installer and just told everyone to read the manual instead!! I think Norman<br>has a valid point and your answer doesn't do his question justice. I'm
<br>concerned that there are potential new users who could add to Gentoo, who<br>are going elsewhere because of confusing options and attitudes that don't<br>help anyone.<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Andrew Gaffney [mailto:
