Hello everybody,

What do I have to install to get gnome properly installed? Am I missing 
apt-get lines ?
   

Have you discovered aptitude yet? 

If you come from knoppix, you will probably not be happy with gnome 1.4
as it is in woody. Gnome 2.4 is backported to woody, you might consider
using that. Use aptitude to choose the components you want to install,
and make sure you have at least gnome-core gnome-session and gnome-panel
selected.
good luck,
Chris
 

Cool - aptitude works great (I usually use apt-get but aptitude gives a 
nice overview of the packages ... easier than the apt-cache tool I think)
I now successfully installed gnome 1.4 which is fine for now - I'd like 
to keep the system woody stable at the moment :)
(I didn't see where gmc was in aptitude so I got that one with apt-get 
but..)

thanks,

Joris
