Hi!

after a couple of days fighting with the upgrading to woody from potato here 
are my advices if anyone wants to do the same. The advices from this list were 
of fundamental importance!

1) Upgrade to woody via apt
2) If your video card is supported, install XFree86 4 (shipped with woody) and 
the xserver-xfree86. 
3) Reinstall xfonts-base (apt-get install --reinstall xfonts-base). The 
upgrading to woody mess up with the fonts directories.
4) Install the man pages and the xbase-clients (apt-get install man-deb 
manpages xbase-clients). The woody upgrading deinstall thesse packages, but 
doesn't reinstall them. 
5) I like very much gnome and sawmill, so install sawmill-gnome and the 
gnome stuff. Note that sawmill-gnome has the gnome-control-center package for 
configuring the gnome desktop.
6) Reboot 

Cheers,

Marcelo
