<P>
This section covers <STRONG>gentoo</STRONG>'s considerable configuration options. All configuration is done in
the same window, which is (rather ingeniously) called the configuration window. The configuration
window consists of a number of <EM>pages</EM>. Below, all links except for the first two take you to
the documentation for one such page.

<P>This early release of <STRONG>gentoo</STRONG> doesn't have the configuration system fully <EM>documented</EM>.
Very much has been implemented, though; each of the nonactive links below refers to a configuration
"page" that is fully implemented in the program today. I believe <STRONG>gentoo</STRONG> to be truly useful, if
you can figure out how to do it... There will be upcoming releases with more documentation and,
generally, more of everything else too. Hold on.</P>
