You are missing the point of Gentoo then. We are NOT a binary distro
(to repeat ad nauseum). If you want that kind of install, please
change distros. I do find these other methods of install to be
interesting though. Has anyone on this list ever used a PXE boot
image to install?
I thought the point of gentoo was the ability to customize settings for
optimal performance/ and fit. I see this customization as starting
during installation and continuing after that. I also see it as
separate from _how_ the initial installation occurs.
Is it gentoo's goal to make the installation difficult so only a select
group can do the install? Or is the goal to make gentoo a great
distro? In the latter case, why not make the installation easy?

I'm sorry, but this is such a well-worn path and has been beat to death.
This is not Ubuntu or yadda yadda yadda. This Gentoo. Maybe this is the
price of admission. If it is, well too bad. If all the Gentoo users that
fill the mailinglists and forums
have been able to install Gentoo with the aid of the best docs, you
should be able too. Gentoo does not make it's goal to be difficult.
Because it is different than the way YOU think it should be. It is what
it is. Not what you want or will be happy with? Go somewhere else.
