I've never known it to be a problem if you're using an app you upgrade with apt-get. It Just Works. ix> I dunno..

Once your system is installed, edit /etc/apt/sources.list file (you must be root, of course) and add these lines: # # Helix GNOME # deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/evolution/distributions/Debian ./ deb-src http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main Those are the locations for Helix GNOME binaries, sources, and the binaries for the prerelease of Evolution (in case you want to play with that). Now, run "apt-get update" as normal (or, however you normally update your package list), and it'll grab the latest package info. Now you can install it however you like; go get "everything including the kitchen sink" you can "apt-get install task-helix-gnome". If you just want the basics, try "apt-get install task-helix-core", then you can "apt-get install" other specific utilities as you like. Of course, from now on a simple "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" will give you all the latest versions. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
