Use "apt-get" make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list is pointed to your cdrom or http depending on where you want to install from. It's good to do http so you can snag security updates. Take a look at the man page but to install packages, the short of it is - # apt-get install package_name To install security patches - # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade You can search for package names at the web-site. I would try something like task-gnome* for installing gnome. hth, kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
