Thanks Richard,

	But unfortunately it has not gone well. Started in section 2.6 where 
you are to emerge xorg-xll, and right after it starts, it fails.
Rewritten here
!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/kbproto-1.0.2.tar.bz2
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 57853
!!! Expected: 57843

Obviously there is a size issue, and I cleaned out everything with 
eclean to force fetches.

Also previous to this, (found after started troubleshooting)
# if [[ ! -L /usr/X11R6 ]]; \
	then equery belongs /usr/X11R6 > ~/usr-x11r6-packages \
	&& rm -rf /usr/X11R6; fi

runs without error, but after looking /usr/X11R6 is still present, so rm 
did not work for some reason.

Richard, or anyone, would you be able to pass on some ideas on how to 
correct this mess?
