How 'bout a workaround ?? Using apt-get to install something like "gnome-core" will prompt you for numerous additional, but required, gnome packages. The information page for "gnome-core" also lists "suggested" packages. They are: gnome-help, gnome-panel, gnome-session, and gnome-terminal. Personally, I'd only install the apps I *wanted* and and other packages that are req'd to run them. Using apt-get, I think, will accomplish that. Hall
