Subject: [gentoo-dev] Decision to remove stage1/2 from installation documentation
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 14:45:32
Message-Id: 20051122144745.GR12982@mail.lieber.org
1 We have received *numerous* complaints from users about the decision to
2 remove stage 1 and 2 from the installation documentation. I realize it's
3 still available if users are willing to dig for it, but not all users do.

5 In my years of monitoring www@g.o, we've received the most
6 complaints about this decision than any other single decision. Is there a
7 way we can re-introduce the stages into the installation documentation,
8 perhaps with gigantic warnings saying, "for advanced users only" or "use at
9 your own risk"?

20 Hello,
21
22 Gentoo claims to be giving freedom. However, I was dissapointed to see that
23 the stage 1 had been removed from gentoo 2005. Infact, even the handbook
24 makes no refference of it. This takes Gentoo another step closer to other
25 distros like Ubuntu.
