I wholy agree on this point, yet I see a tiny problem. If you scrap all |
| 15 |
the different paths in the handbook by keeping only one "standard" path, |
| 16 |
I'd say about 50% of the whole thing is arch dependant : |
| 17 |
- partitioning (i've never used anything other than x86/amd64) |
| 18 |
- kernel setup |
| 19 |
- bootloader |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Common stuff: |
| 22 |
- stage setup |
| 23 |
- rsync, emerge system/world |
| 24 |
- network setup |
| 25 |
- additional utilities (such as cron, syslog) |
| 26 |

Although I really would like to see a shorter guide, I think there are a |
| 28 |
few issues (like these, but maybe others?) to layout first. |

PS, my 50% figure may not be very accurate :) don't feel offended if i'm |
