[Wlug] It boots. Now what?

[ken jones]

I would like to get X11 services.  I did an "emerge xterm".  Here's what 
happened.
------------start snip-------------
(chroot) livecd proc # emerge xterm
Calculating dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-proto/xproto-7.0.6" have been 
masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
- x11-proto/xproto-7.0.7 (masked by: ~sparc keyword)
- x11-proto/xproto-7.0.10 (masked by: ~sparc keyword)
- x11-proto/xproto-7.0.9 (masked by: ~sparc keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "x11-libs/libX11-1.1.1-r1" [ebuild])
--------------end snip----------

What do I make of this?

Another problem.  My livecd prompt and my chroot prompt both see my 
ethernet card, eth0.  However my new boot does not see the card.  Ideas?
