I'm not sure how will it look from the maintenance POV. If you want to |
28 |
have such a documentation, why don't you talk to the documentation team |
29 |
and/or try to implement it yourself? If you can maintain an up-to-date |
30 |
"guide" with reasonable low manpower, you can use it as an argument that |
31 |
our approach really works and is worth the effort. |
32 |
|
33 |
As a sidenote, most of those "choices" you've mentioned either don't |
34 |
exist at all now (stage selection) or have no real effect at the |
35 |
installation process (ISO selection). |

You should read our x86 quickinstall guide [1], if you already haven't |
43 |
done so. If it still doesn't suit your needs, it would be best to |
44 |
continue this dicsussion at the gentoo-doc mailing list. |
45 |
|
46 |
And please remember that sometimes it's easier and more readable to |
47 |
inculde an extra sentence for a step that some people might have done |
48 |
earlier than to include myriad of options to choose from. |
