Another problem now, in my long list of packages to emerge somehow xorg
popped in there and i really dont want X on my livecd, i have -X as use
(i'm doing stage 1 of livecd) and this is my emerge --tree -v output of
all of the packages when i chroot into the new livecd (or as far as it
got until i ctrlC when i saw xorg downloading.

and the stage1 file:
gttd-stage1.spec

http://jim.psunit.com:989/~jim/gttd-stage1.spec
