I have to agree, Gentoo's install docs are some of the best out there and
will allow just about anybody to install OpenBSD.

Great document!
Are there any suggested partition sizes for the desktop environment?

I think your doing a great job. It's a good start. Here's my 2 cents on

2. Add author/contact info.
3. Add version of document and revision # or date.
Also I noticed you updated the document since the first post. This is
great howeve
