It's my first time with Gentoo. I chose Gentoo as a linux distro primarily because of portage - I have built a FreeBSD system in the past. I thought that I could learn a little more by starting with a stage 1, but I am beginning to think that it may be better to start with a stage 3 though. > > Did you try any of the stages twice? i.e. can you confirm that the errors are > reproducible?

I did try to emerge system twice, (with the same error). I guess I will try the stage 3 option again - I will also try burning a new CD if I get the same CD access-type errors.
