Agreed. When I first installed Gentoo I did it via ssh, just across the room, and opened the Gentoo Install Guide for each step. It was only after much confusion (& some wasted time) that I realised the install instructions had changed since I had started! The changes might not have been very significant, but they were sufficient for me to do things is the wrong order & to throw me off generally.
