Allow me to explain this one last time.

WE DO NOT GET MONEY FROM ORDERS FROM THE GENTOO STORE.

In fact, currently Gentoo has no way to accept money of any kind.  The
only thing we can take is hardware contributions.  We own very little of
our infrastructure.  Going out and buying hardware to replace hardware
that we have for free isn't exactly a good way to spend money.  Going
out and buying bandwidth to replace bandwidth that we are receiving for
free from the same people giving us hardware isn't exactly a good way to
spend money.

Now... this is COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC and has NOTHING to do with the
installer, so let's stop this thread now.
