Thanks a great great deal Richard,

	I deleted the distfiles manually and again it complained on the 'emerge 
xorg-x11'.
So looking at your note, synced again, changed no mirrors, and just now 
things have started building, currently on package 33 of something like 133.
Hopefully things will continue to go well with the rest of the builds.

				Thanks again a great deal Richard,
