You shouldn't need to unmask anything, provided that you have synced the portage tree.
I have done it, and it works. That link that Cabhan gave, I used before and it works fine.

Can you give more details as why and where Cabhan's is not working ?"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."

write down the error message then post it here.
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?
