| I'd recommend virtualbox, but I seriously doubt that there a need for such a tutorial. Using a VM is pretty straightforward. Especially using a GUI manager. And I doubt that there are any differences from the normal handbook installation. Other then installing virtualbox kernel modules to get full support on the host, but that's explained in the manual for VB. If you're into making some documentation I suggest updating the handbook to use weekly minimals and stages - unless someone already did that. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo, as it is not directly related to installing a base Gentoo system.

Thanks for your reply, I didnt explain myself pretty well...
What I am exactly trying to do, it is to help many people who actually havent been able to install GNU/Linux Gentoo because of the offical website toturial explanation complexity, I want to translate it into a video to be understood much more better. |

| Note that if someone is unable to follow the handbook he's not likely to be able to actually use and maintain his Gentoo afterwards. And again if you feel that some things in the handbook could be explained in a simpler way, then better have a go at making it clearer - just my humble opinion. |
