What would have been different with: "GOD !!! look at this wonderful > handbook !!!! look at that so didactic installation way !!! Let's boot > a live CD and start installing!" I'm extremly dense probably, since I really don't get it. > And I was so happy to get my minimal/live CD's that I think "Yeah, a > very nice distro, taking your hand from the beginning to bring > knowledge step-by-step, providing all that you need... software and > amazing doc".

I can't see how having more troubles and no advantage is a positive thing, but again: I'm probably extremly dense. > Because I want. It is sufficient for me. Further details ?

Beautiful, but this has nothing to do with the need of a gentoo install cd. However a Gentoo demo cd is a nice project. Happy hacking, anyway! m. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
