1 hi,
2 i'm trying to install from universal ppc livecd (2004.0) onto a powerbook 3400. the livecd apparently doesn't activate pcmcia, so i can't do a network install.
3
4 when i get to "emerge gentoo-dev-sources" i get an error saying all packages are masked.
5
6 any idea why this is happening? i created package.keywords w/the appropriate line (according to numerous forum postings) and the error changed to "specific key requires an operator" i tried all sorts of stuff...could not find a real answer on the forums.

8 does anyone know what's really going on here? i've been chasing my tail in the forums for hours now.

10 thanks,
