As for the anaconda port, I believe there will be some modules from anaconda |
11 |
used in our installer, but nothing like what you see in the url that you |
12 |
posted. The problem with using anaconda outright is that it is an RPM based |
13 |
installer, and we're trying to install a portage based system. Plus, the |
14 |
design of the official Gentoo installer (see the docs at the url above) will |
15 |
be more flexible, allowing for automated installs, text based, graphical |
16 |
based, etc.. |

Cheers! |
