and installing packages! Select Install to reformat your hard disk and install Gentoo. The
installation process will take a long time to complete. In fact, it could take a very long time!
20. Finish installing. Close the installer after you see the Install Complete! message.
21. Exit and reboot. Select to log out, and then choose to reboot the computer. After the system
shuts down, remove the live CD and reboot the newly installed Gentoo system.
At this point, you can use the emerge command to add additional software packages to your
installed Gentoo system. See the ???Getting Software with emerge??? section later in this chapter.
