I agree. I got a CD with the installer on it here somewhere. I always |
| 18 |
boot with the gentoo nox option to disable the thing. By the time that |
| 19 |
thing loads up I can mount my partitions and edit a file that needs |
| 20 |
changing and be back out again. I'm not sure that the GUI really makes |
| 21 |
anything "easier" either. You still have the learning curve to deal |
| 22 |
with after the CD is gone. |

Basically, if you use the CD installer, you are still pretty much |
| 25 |
clueless when it comes to what is under the hood of Gentoo. Without it, |
| 26 |
you have learned several things that come in handy later on for sure. |

I'm not totally against it but I don't really see any need for it either. |
