A true GentooWay installer would be any installer of your own choice |
| 9 |
that launches the shell of your chosing, accepts any stage3 tarball that |
| 10 |
you want and gotten from anywhere you choose to get it, and unpacked any |
| 11 |
place you feel like putting it. It will then run the software of your |
| 12 |
choice and install whatever you tell it to. |

That's an awful lot of "your choices" :-) |
