Actually, he is correct. If you follow the installation guide, you will |
| 4 |
end up with a installed OS and it will tell you when it is time to |
| 5 |
reboot into the system you just installed. It also tells you how to add |
| 6 |
a user to the system. One thing Gentoo is well known for and has been |
| 7 |
for ages, excellent install docs. |

Admittedly, it's been a while since I did a install so I went and looked |
| 10 |
at the docs to be sure. Yep, everything is there and exactly where it |
| 11 |
should be. I do wish it had the one page layout like it used to tho. |

So, you need to read and follow the docs. If you do that, you will end |
| 14 |
up with a install just like everyone else who follows them. Example. |

I suspect a lot of us use sysrescuecd since it is Gentoo based. |
