gnome debs have now been migrated to potato (the unstable branch).

The hamm packets do work with slink (as hamm was the first release
with glibc support). I do not have all packets of kde installed but
the basic set works (kde 1.1). I abandoned kde because I had problems
with another piece of software which didn't like that kde tried to
change something in with the menues.

There was a problem when installing kde and gnome at the same time. I
don not know if it still persists. Both packages used a directory
under /usr/share, but with different file formats.

dpkg -i `find -name *.deb`
should do the trick (but without apt's increased checking for
dependencies and conflicts).

Never mind.
