I'll definitely agree - I would make use of a more automated installer. |

I had to set up a few virtualbox gentoo images and it took forever - |
| 9 |
especially with the number of steps that amounted to "build this, then |
| 10 |
config this, then build this..." - making it less iterative would be |
| 11 |
nice. I don't mind if I configure 10 things, and then it builds |
| 12 |
overnight. |

A pre-packaged genkernel/modules package or something like that probably |
| 15 |
wouldn't hurt either. Sure, I want to run gentoo-sources, but it would |
| 16 |
be nice to at least get a system that boots in less time. |

Maybe a "stage4" that is basically the handbook with some default |
| 19 |
choices made could help here - pick a syslog, crond, dhcpcd, etc. |
