Using the graphical installer on the 2006.0 LiveCD, installation fails when attempting to emerge mail-mta/ssmtp. Apparently, the '=' preceding the package name is invalid. The output tab shows these last dozen lines: >>> dev-php/php-4.4.0-r4 merged. >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. Calculating dependencies !!! '=mail-mta/ssmtp' is not a valid package atom. !!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details. !!! (Did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?) Exception received: EmergePackageError :FATAL: emerge: Could not emerge mail-mta/ssmtp!

Can you update to the latest CVS (open a terminal and run '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe'), enabled Verbose mode (on the Misc tab of the Pre-install config screen), and do the same install again? When it fails, please attach your installer.log to this bug.
Meh, I know what's causing this. When you add postfix to your extra packages, it blocks on the already installed ssmtp. The portage interface code isn't quite robust enough to handle this yet. You can work around this by setting the 'mailwrapper' USE flag. I'll have to properly fix this in a later release.

I've just added code to SVN to detect blockers in the deplist and raise a proper exception. It's probably not the solution people were looking for, but eh, it's what you get.
