Yeah, that's a double-edged situation. Some people prefer no-nonsense, quick |
| 9 |
'n dirty information on what to do (12 lines is sufficient for me to remember |
| 10 |
what to do to install a Gentoo system), others really need that extra |
| 11 |
paragraph explaining what that little command really does. |

From documentation project PoV, having an extensive document explaining every |
| 14 |
step of the installation process is the primary concern. It is a lot easier |
| 15 |
for advanced users to diagonally read the installation instructions than to |
| 16 |
have users deal with unknown situations through google :) |
