Hi, i ended up installing everything starting with gnome, only ending with -dev can be omitted.
gnome* gnome2* gnome-libs libgnome* libglade* imlib gtk* glib* lib6* gcc* Out of my 20 days linux experience i have 10 days gnome installing experience. next time my system crashes and if i don't have a recovery cd i will try to find if there is any easy way(automated) to install gnome(am too lazy to check what dselect does, if it has any options to find and install dependent packages itself). i didn't bother to see if there are any scripts available on either debian or gnome websites for installation, just for the fun of installing it manually. using this directory list ftp://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/gnome.org/sources/ i installed almost everything in it and their dependencies. version 1.4.2 works just fine for me. If you get gnome-session,gnome-panel,gnome-desktop,gnome-core,gnome-commander,gnome-bin without any dependency errors it works. thanks Srinivas --- Xucaen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, the version of Xfree that I installed is the > stock version that comes with the debian 3.0 r1 > CDs.
