this is the only part of the howto i have finished so far. i have so much more to go :)
Created attachment 233 [details] alternative install howto
I made lots of modifications. I cleaned up some things I thought were confusing and I did a bunch of editing to make the doc look like our other docs. See http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-src/gentoo-web/xml/ for the current version. You can use viewcvs's diff generator to see the specific changes I made: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-src/gentoo-web/xml/altinstall.xml.diff?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 Two examples are simple "#" prompts and <i>foo</i> markup in shell examples. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
my e-mail address changed. updated in CVS, I need for the site to be updated. -LV-
