This is something that had bugged me for quite awhile. Trying to help |
| 8 |
when people refer to "the handbook" is made needlessly complicated, due |
| 9 |
to having to try to figure out /which/ handbook, and the confusion if |
| 10 |
people aren't referring to the same one. |

So ++ from this user! =8^) |

I'd still prefer merging them to the same "handbook" URL, tho, with |
| 15 |
separate parts for networked and networkless installation. It would then |
| 16 |
be clear that the other parts (Working with Portage, etc) are the same |
| 17 |
and in general eliminate the possibility of folks seeing only one and |
| 18 |
believing that's the "mainline" method of installation, even if they do |
| 19 |
see the mention of and link to the other. |
