I did grab the graphical CD. The graphical CD is nice for systems that |
| 14 |
it fully supports like my desktop. Using the graphical CD I was able to |
| 15 |
have a gnome desktop with FF to browse while I waited for Gentoo to get |
| 16 |
installed. I guess because of space constraints, there is not room for |
| 17 |
a stage. That is normally not a problem if you have a fast connection. |

The regular install CD seems to be the best bet though, especially for |
| 20 |
non-network installs. |
