When I was installing I chose:

Code:
emerge mm-sources


And it says something about it being masked or whatever. How do I fix/get around this?

Do:
Code:
echo "sys-kernel/mm-sources ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


read the manpage for emerge and portage:
Code:
man emerge

Code:
man portage

I actually tried that before, but it said the file didn't exist, so I had to create the directory first. But it did work, so thanks. :D
