Looking forward to hearing > from you. On a semi-related note, I was thinking about doing a semi-related project :). I personally don't think Gentoo needs installer as-is. However, I think we'd really benefit from having some kind of helper scripts / checklist of tasks to be done prior to/after install. For example, you'd run 'check-my-install' script and it'd tell you what you likely forgot to set up :). -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
