Call me an idealist, but this sounds too much like a "guilty until |
12 |
proven innocent" thing. I'm a "normal" Gentoo user, and had absolutely |
13 |
no trouble following the stage1 instructions. Let's leave the "the |
14 |
user is dumb" assumptions to Microsoft. |

Instead, a prominent explamnation and warning about what doing |
17 |
so-and-so would entail would be good. |
