> I have recently pressed the reboot button on the ol' Installer project. I've been able to talk to quite a few developers one-on-one via IRC concerning my plans. Most seem to be in support of Gentoo having a "official" installer (the biggest concern is appears to be how things will be implemented and the amount of features involved). This e-mail is to fulfill GLEP 39's request for comments (RFC), concerns, requests, etc. Since I'm a little new to the project I'm coming with a bit of ignorance; I know the previous Installer project fostered mixed feelings. |

There will potentially be a web interface UI for it. Others are free to create other front-ends; to me a web UI makes the most sense and would probably require the least deps. |

On a semi-related note, I was thinking about doing a semi-related |

project :). |

I personally don't think Gentoo needs installer as-is. However, I think |
16 |
we'd really benefit from having some kind of helper scripts / checklist |
17 |
of tasks to be done prior to/after install. |

For example, you'd run 'check-my-install' script and it'd tell you what |
20 |
you likely forgot to set up :). |
