Actually, he isn't. I'd suggest reading chapter 1 of my email "at |
| 10 |
least three or four times" to find the part where I pointed out his |
| 11 |
mistake. |

Certainly, but not if somebody doesn't take the time to point that out |
| 19 |
and explain it, vs just telling him to read only "chapter 1" of the |
| 20 |
handbook a few more times. |

I do agree that he is missing a few steps but I'll go ahead and admit |
| 23 |
that I occasionally miss a step on a Gentoo install because the |
| 24 |
handbook is fairly verbose and it is easy to skip over the wrong part. |
| 25 |
It would actually make sense to have a checklist to go along with it |
| 26 |
so that it is harder to skip the wrong section. |

Bottom line though is that if you aren't going to tailor your email to |
| 29 |
the questions being asked it isn't terribly helpful. |
