my style has always been to get the minimal installer. chroot, install
kernel to my specs then boot to hard drive, then start building it to
how i want it built.
the handbook is pretty specific and straight-forward. one just has to
follow it. i've done N installs over the years and i still turn to the
handbook, just to keep track.
anyway. if people find the installer difficult.... maybe gentoo isn't
for them.

Because installation is boring. The easier it is, the better.
wrong. The installation needs a certain difficulty to keep idiots
away. Nobody
needs idiots (except maybe ubuntu).
yes, installation is VERY boring. that's part of the compromise, i
guess.
