Menu of what? How will a Gentoo developer know what you want to install? If |
| 13 |
you are starting from Stage 3, you just need to choose what to install and |

thats it. How will a menu help you in that? As far as graphics based Gentoo |
| 15 |
install is concerned. I don't think that it is even anywhere near Gentoo |
| 16 |
Dev's priorities right now. |
