Many thanks for your help, Colin. Task-spanish is supposedly installed, and "Spanish" indicated as language in all the concerning questions during the installation. When your Xkeyboard is asked during X configuration, Spanish is not offered in the list. First time, I selected "none" expecting to be able to correct that lately, but X refused to start. Next time I installed potato, selected "US-International" and could use the system at least. I hope this question will be easily solved by some Spanish Debian user (there are a few in the list, very helpful all of them). The number of dependence problems which arose from my updating attempts was so high that it would be an abuse to bother the list with them. I've been adviced against unofficial woody CD- images, and maybe the problem is that I've got packages needing Gnome 1.0.5 which cannot be upgraded to the versions which would work with Gnome 1.2. Maybe there are are in woody now, but not in my CDs (although they were downloaded this last monday). Unfortunately, upgrading my home system (the concerned one, since I only have direct connection to the Internet here in the work, where I'm obliged to use Windows --not for long, I hope) via a ppp connection is unaffordable for me. There is one thing in your message, nonetheless, which surprises me: Mozilla M18 being in potato now. When I was preparing my migration to Debian, I was told in the group that there are not updates to potato (save security fixes). All updates go to woody, and I would never get gnome 1.2, XFree 4, KDE2, etc. for potato. Wasn't that true? Finally, I believe I'm going to freshly install potato to start from a "brand new" system, and will try to upgrade packages step by step using dselect. I've been trying it, and it's daunting, since debian packages are quite different from RedHat's, but I believe I'll manage. Again, many thanks for your help ********************************************************* Dr. Rodolfo Canet-Castello Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA) Dpto.
