I did and it worked fine. The commands (after specifying Woody in /etc/apt/sources.list) are "apt-get update" and then "apt-get upgrade". This will only upgrade the packages you currently have, along with any new dependencies. > Second question: where is the best place to get the > latest gnome packages?

I believe the most actively developed would be HelixCode's site. I don't remember the exact URL, but do have it at home. Someone else will likely post it, but I did find this entry by searching the lists archives: deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main Good luck Hall Stevenson
