    The following is the error that I receive every time that I try to emerge kde either from the shell or within x
    {
    Emerge -k kde
    calculating depedencies ...done!
    >>>> emerge (1 of 82) media sound/cdparanoia-3.9.8-r1 to /

    }

    is there anything else that I can try. I installed gentoo from a cd and
    everything thing seems to be where is supposed to be. I've tried all the
    options tied to emerge. I need a little help. thanks Happy New year.
