If they don't have sense enough to look for documentation, then they're
never going to be able to run Gentoo.  Consider it a rite of passage or
some other nonsense.  In fact, the GUI installer might well make things
more complex, especially as it gains more features, as it will be able
to do installation tasks not documented in the Handbook.  They will, of
course, have to be documented, but the point still stands.
