Interesting choice:: how do you like your choices, Felix? To the wider list of gentoo hacks:: Still think we do not need an easier installation semantic? If he decides to 'upgrade' there will be tons of man-hours spent on this effort. If we had a mostly unattended basic installation semantic (proceedure/install) I bet he (Felix) would choose that pathway. Felix, care to comment? If we (gentoo) had a simple installation semantic, this sort of problem would most likely disappear; so the wider community could delve into other technical support issues...... YMMV. James
