I agree with this. I guess for me knowing that the real "guts" to the installer (at least for non Stage1 installs) is that they simply decompress a tar file of the system. You simply take it from there installing software from it from the snapshot of portage. Rather than use Gentoo's boot disk, I have used SuSE, etc. as it doesn't matter, the concept was the same. Gentoo has occassional hiccups concerning certain e-builds, but that's all part of human error. I have seen my share of these in Debian, SuSE, Red Hat,<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...all of them. So, I accept that and move on.
