A true GentooWay installer would be any installer of your own choice that launches the shell of your chosing, accepts any stage3 tarball that you want and gotten from anywhere you choose to get it, and unpacked any place you feel like putting it. It will then run the software of your choice and install whatever you tell it to. That's an awful lot of "your choices" :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
