Gentoo amd64 fresh install

Last weekend I migrate to gentoo amd64. My old gentoo installation was from the end of 2004. And it was working to the end, but because cannot be ubgraded from x86 to amd64 i had to delete it. I install the new gentoo with the GUI installer, i never was used it before.
It is good but i got error in creating of the user accounts, and i continue installation by hand.
The first packages which I installed was X, fluxbox, mp3blaster, opera and licq.
Now i am happy Gentoo ~amd64 user.
