!!! Error extracting /usr/portage/packages/All/kdebase-3.2.0.tbz2
This errors appeared on other large packages like xfree86 or kdelibs but 
after a number of retries it worked. On this one, however, I am stuck :-(
 

I suspect that the source package is defective. Delete (or rename) it in 
/usr/portage/distfiles, and
try again - emerge will then download it anew. If emerge gets it from 
CD, remove the CD as
a package source, at least for this package.

(If you find it more convenient, "emerge -f kdebase" will only fetch the 
source, you can then compile and
install it with "emerge kdebase" rsp. "emerge kde" later.)
