Since I'm not an English native speaker, I apologize for my _very_ poor English. I also apologize for any mistake in text interpretation... I _think_ that build a lot of boot CDs (2007.0, 2007.1, 2007.2, 2007.3 and so on) is an wasting of time and get off the KISS principle. You already have a _lot_ of boot CDs and/or another methods in order to install your Gentoo's system on a new machine. So, why should I* build an new boot CD just for two* people use? I could use this time in order to fix bugs, improve installations UI, give a bath in my dog or watch a movie with my girlfriend... :-) _But_ I agree that Gentoo _should_ have an better/easiest installation method for those days when you can't wait and/or be typing 83465247238 commands. :-P So: I _think_ that Gentoo's installation CD can have an/be graphical installer, but __I__ still also _think_ that's a wasting of time. :-) * "So, why should I build an new boot CD just for two people use?" => I'm not an developer. But I think that you understand my point. :-) Best regards, -- Davi Vidal -- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GTalk : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype : davi vidal ICQ : 138815296
