I agree with you that complete n00b may have a problem here but... |

|
| 41 |
The n00b install argument holds no water with me as the user will need |
| 42 |
be somewhat experienced to maintain the system in any event. |

|
| 44 |
Detaching oneself from documentation will become a vital skill once you |
| 45 |
have your own *unique* Gentoo system up and running. |
