Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] GLIS for dummies
GLIS was recently re-written to clean up the code and include a lot of bug
fixes. Right now, I'm working on a GUI for GLIS, but it will be a while before its
usable. At the moment, GLIS is more for people who have already installed Gentoo and know
what they are doing, who just want to automate the install.

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?

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.
