Hi,

Great installation instructions for Gentoo! I have tried several other
distributions, and wanted to learn more about the inner workings of
GNU/Linux, and Gentoo seems to be the right choice! Here is a suggestion
for improvement though:

At the URL:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6
(title "Installing the Gentoo Base System") in the "Configuring the USE
variable" section, at "Code Listing 11: Specify your locales", shouldn't
it say it's an example? And wouldn't it be great if it told you how to
enter the values/find my own locales?

Regards

"""

Added example-paragraph and that, if you don't know what locale to specify, don't specify any at all and let glibc install all of them :p
