Another problem was that users who used the installer and never read |
| 14 |
the handbooks constantly got problems using and maintaining their |
| 15 |
system afterwards. On the other hand, an automated installer is *very* |
| 16 |
useful for people already experienced with Gentoo to install new |
| 17 |
systems w/o spending 3 hours of personal time on it. |

In summation, IMO the goal of the installer should be to automate and |
| 20 |
not to make it easy for newbies to install Gentoo. With that in mind, |
| 21 |
please someone work on this! :) |
