I have my own view on that. I'd say the handbook should just tell people |
| 12 |
to make a chroot in any old distro of their choice. Personally, I use |
| 13 |
RiplinuX, mostly because I've used it for years |
| 14 |
|

The reason I say Gentoo shouldn't worry about installers is that the |
| 16 |
typical person installing Gentoo already knows about chroots. Someone |
| 17 |
who doesn't is unlikely to consider Gentoo at all (unless they are |
| 18 |
looking to rice, but we long since moved past that). |

This idea will of course not be popular, I'll be told I'm trying to be |
| 21 |
elitist, and so the search for the perfect installer will continue unabated |
