Ok.

I belive that much of the trouble I'm experiensing is related to the
fact that I did not have access to the net when installing the base
system, as my ISP requires that you log on to a webpage before gaining
access to the net (I've addressed this issue in the forum
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3198 ), thus I have failed to
run some emerges and perhaps a few other things as well.

Normally I could access that page from Win2K (that I'm currently using),
but when I set up GRUB i kinda destroyed the bootloader for Win2K... :-O

Right now I'm leaning more to the option of using fdisk to remove
Gentoo, and start over with a stage 1 or 2 installation instead...
