( you don't need 18 hours to setup Frugalware ;) base+gnome should be done in +/- 1h ( well depending on your hardware )). We have some 'autotools' ( GUI's|CLI's ) etc but all the things you can configure with some GUI you could configure manually as well. Like : you could type 'netconfig' and just answer the questions or do 'man netconfig' a configure your network profile manually .
