Which means it doesn't have to be GUI, right? That makes the task much |
| 7 |
simpler. |

It would be something like automating stage4, meaning storing the build |
| 10 |
settings (/etc/make.conf), the list of packages |
| 11 |
(/var/lib/portage/world)... and kicking off the install in one step. Or |
| 12 |
something like that. |

Which also means we can do the above step by step. A graphical installer |
| 15 |
which does the half of installation and stops is useless. But a tool |
| 16 |
that speeds up the manual installation by half is very useful. |
