Pardon me if this has been hashed and rehashed: I haven't seen it on the Usenet linux.debian.user, but I know not every message gets gatewayed. I did a search on the archive and found nothing.
It seems to me that there's no way to install either KDE or GNOME using the current stable release. Apparently once a release is "frozen" all new versions of .deb archives are created for unstable, which in this case means using glibc 2.1 . . . which means that you can't actually use them on a stable machine, because there's no approved way of upgrading to glibc 2.1 on stable that I can locate. . . . why? What's the purpose of making everything on machines running stable un-upgradable until some obscure Perl bug is worked out? I just don't follow. Is there a way to try KDE/GNOME on stable that I'm missing? I did some fairly extensive searches via www.debian.org's package search engine. I should specify that I want a reasonably new release of either, not the alpha GNOME in stable. Thanks. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
