6 Yes, it is that no one has felt the need to devote the considerable
7 amount of time needed to code and test an installer that takes into
8 account the far wider range of choices in Gentoo.

10 The other reason is that an automated installer would bypass the learning
11 process of installing Gentoo, and cause subsequent issues because you
12 have skipped that information.

14 There are hundreds of distros with automated installers. Gentoo is
15 different from other distros, and this is one of the differences. If you
16 want an installer that makes choices for you, try one of the
17 Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora derivatives.
