> The GUI (as for "Gentoo Installer") is not perfect (yet). Boy, that's showing some restraint...... Of my (3) installs using LiveCD 2006.0, all three had to be completed manually, Lots of wasted time using LiveCD 2006.0. This was a result of scant-to-nil documentation explaining what path (i.e. sequence of choices) to follow. So you just have to float around the various 'sequences of choices'. Once I got a bootable kernel out of the liveCD 2006.0, I learned to finish the installation manually. (ugly, real ugly)... On a positive note, the liveCD 2006 does do a pretty good job of hardware discover, selection and driver loading. Currently, *in my opinion*, the manual installation process is the only one to use. I have some additional systems to to install, but, I'm waiting for 2006.1, which should be released any day now. [1] will let you track the progress of 2006.1 liveCD release schedule...... I'd be willing to beta test it, if it were released... ( I'd even promise not to bitch or ask any questions to anyone, if a BETA of livedCD 2006.1) were available, for us commoners.
