How do I change the current default Window Manager

what it is. If I select Black Box, or any other

There is a way to fix you unresolved symbols problem

Did you also get the 2.4.? ppp? That is required when
you upgrade to a 2.4.* kernel. You can also try

Well I believe that Kernel-package is one of the

will provide you all of the kernel's t

Do some reading on the Debian web site, they explain
