I agree. I got a CD with the installer on it here somewhere. I always boot with the gentoo nox option to disable the thing. By the time that thing loads up I can mount my partitions and edit a file that needs changing and be back out again. I'm not sure that the GUI really makes anything "easier" either. You still have the learning curve to deal with after the CD is gone. Basically, if you use the CD installer, you are still pretty much clueless when it comes to what is under the hood of Gentoo. Without it, you have learned several things that come in handy later on for sure. I'm not totally against it but I don't really see any need for it either. Dale :-) :-)
