Grendel - in the end I went to the Helix-Gnome ftp site - same address as the one in your /etc/apt/sources.list - spidermonkey.helix.com, except that it is ftp rather than http. I manually downloaded the couple of files causing apt-get problems and put them into /var/cache/apt/archives and re-ran apt-get dist-upgrade. This time, it worked OK. Hope this helps. BTW the new version of Helix-Gnome has the panel applets in a package called 'gnome-applets' which the upgrade didn't install for me. Helix Gnome is looking *so* cool - it makes Windows look very old and clunky. I just love it. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
