[ Installing via GRML ]
IOW: Use the original documentation. Chapter 2 is of course then
of no use, for the most part. The thing about hdparm and user
accounts is valid none the less, though.
I went through a new install process this week, using Kubuntu liveCD,
and indeed the original documentation applies OK.
Only one minor notice : the part about using 'mirrorselect' will not
work, as this tool will not included in an alternate liveCD, so you
will have to select the mirrors manually (check the syntax beforehand,
maybe).
I don't quite understand. When you're installing stuff from
within Kubuntu (or whatever Live CD), you're in a Gentoo chroot.
Why can't you install mirrorselect there and run mirrorselect
in the chroot?
You are right, this would work. I had just not thought this program
would be in the portage tree.
Also, obviously, you will not be able to use genkernel and
automagically compile kernel (there could be other ways ?).
Same question, basically. Why can''t you run genkernel
in the chroot (I only used genkernel once, and then switched
back to compiling the kernel by myself)?
Same reply :-)
May I just point that you are stating this as an experienced user, who
can afford some detachment from the documentation process ? This might
not be the case for every single person starting a Gentoo install ;
but thanks for providing us these different options.

I agree with you that complete n00b may have a problem here but...
The n00b install argument holds no water with me as the user will need
be somewhat experienced to maintain the system in any event.
Detaching oneself from documentation will become a vital skill once you
have your own *unique* Gentoo system up and running.
