See: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap2- the handbook covers both the liveCD install and the minimal cd install. Here's a link to the minimal cd for x86: http://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/gentoo-2007.0-minimal/x86/ - or if you don't use x86, see: http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml The text-based install is not automated like most of the gui installer. The text-based install does not give you a bootable, gui-based system; you have to build it yourself. But I assure you, you will learn a lot more by doing so, and you'll have a lean system built to the way you want it. This used to be the only method for any install until the gui installer came along. -- - Mark Shields
