If you use dselect, search for the task-gnome packages. If not, apt-get install task-gnome-desktop (I think that's the right task...) You might want try out Helix GNOME by adding this to you /etc/apt/sources.list (see http://www.helixcode.com/): ## Helix GNOME deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main Then install task-helix-gnome which should depend on all the gnome stuff... Note that installing these tasks installs *a lot* of stuff. You could individually install the packages you want, but the tasks are a good start. After installing, putting "gnome-session &" from your $HOME/.xsession and then running "startx" should start GNOME. > BTW: Where can I get information about the Linux-filesystem?

If you are new to Linux, you might want to read the Debian Tutortial <http://www.debian.org/~hp/debian-tutorial.html> and the Debian Guide <http://www.newriders.com/debian/html/noframes/>. They both contain info about basic file commands. > > Stephan > -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For children with short attention spans: boomerangs that don't come back.
