I've just installed Debain Sarge! The OS looks great, even to a Linux noobie!
I've got the GNOME desktop installed. I thought I would try to install some software on my new system using Synaptic. (I scanned all 14 of the install CDs.) However, when I try to install any of the packages listed under Synaptic, "gnome" and "gnome-desktop-environment" are listed under the "To be removed" section. I don't want to remove GNOME from my box to install other software. This occurs with any package I choose from the list. Why is Synaptic wanting to uninstall GNOME? Is there a setting or configuration I need to change somewhere, so that this doesn't occur? Thanks for any information on this situation. The Sunburned Surveyor
