I went to a Gentoo installfest, can't remember when but over a year ago, and got along just fine with only a copy of the install manual, kindly printed by Robert. I've installed a few times since then, and I've always found the documentation to be well written, easy to follow, and complete. It gives step by step instructions my mother could follow. There may be a lot of places one could fault Gentoo, but the documentation isn't one of them IMHO. Just my experience, I realise mileage varies :-) Cheers, Gareth
