I don't know if one exists or not, because I haven't installed gentoo |
10 |
lately (only updated it for the last few years :) |

I had a look at your script - you've named it .tar.gz, but it's only a |
13 |
tar! I think you forgot to gzip it! |

Doing a quick google search, I found |
16 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/ and there is also |
17 |
another graphical installer someone was working on, but I can't remember |
18 |
where. |

Along with the GTK frontend, there is also a dialog-based frontend. This |
22 |
is useful for doing remote installs via SSH. gli-dialog also supports |
23 |
some things that the GTK frontend doesn't and vice versa... |
24 |
|
25 |
So I would ask: What is the purpose of your script? Do you want it to |
26 |
eventually be a great solve-all text installer for beginner and expert? |
27 |
Or just a simple install? |

Definately continue - if only to further your understanding of bash / |
32 |
gentoo / installing. Even if the only purpose it to provide another |
33 |
option to the gentoo installer - that's good enough because diversity is |
34 |
great! |

I definately don't think gentoo setup is too complex for a script. If |
37 |
you can do it by hand, you can do it in a script :) so go for it! |
