1: Read teh config file. It's well documented. Configure it for your needs. (Sorry, this is still a manual procedure.)
2: ./glis x ./config
Execute that from the directory that glis is in. Assuming the config file is in there also. x is the step to execute or ALL. (I normally do them 1 step at a tie but that's because I'm testing it.)

Tom,

Ya think someone might write an IS-GLIS?  This is how dumb I am... how do
you install the Gentoo install script?

Download the latest release...
got it.

Extract by typing the following: tar xvjpf glis*.tar.bz2
when, where?

Run ./glis for directions
what?

Brian

Greetings all,

I've tried seven or more distros in the last week.  The conclusion: I am
really looking for the gentoo philosophy and sophistication.  I want a
platform that is optimized for best practices and best tools.

However, I am a newbie.  As hard as I try, I am not going to be able to
install for the documentation provided.

As such, is there a gentoo version for dummies?  Are there any plans for a
more automated install script?

As others have suggested, you should probably force yourself to learn,
but you might like to take a look at the Gentoo Linux Install Script at
http://glis.sf.net.
