I'd love to help you but tons of screenshots of the command line are not exactly useful. Just follow the handbook to the letter. Seriously.

If you don't have another computer near by, print it out (you can also use another virtual console to read it, but I prefer old-school paper).Stumbling around the 'net:

have you ever seen the cold, hard, black embrace of the command line...
hehe, the install is all done through the shell, bash. like the guy above said, read the manual and you'll get an idea. it feels cool after you've installed it thoughHere's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

I've just (two days ago) finished a Gentoo installation and it's almost as easy as any other linux installation. It's not a "Next->Next->Finish" installation like some - instead you'll be entering commands from the gentoo handbook.
The instructions are brilliant. Just stick with them (to the letter if it's the first time you've done it) and everything will go smoothly.
Good luck.Registered Linux user #388328 || Registered LFS user #15880

why are you under house arrest? methinks we should ensure we have our firewalls working, especially if he doesn't like us.
