I too am stumbling with Debian. I got gnome to work by getting the following files: gdk-imlib1_1.8.1-0.1_i386.deb libgtkxmhtml0_0.30-1_i386.deb gnome-core_0.30-1_i386.deb libgtop0_0.26.0-1_i386.deb gnome-desktop_0.28.1-1_i386.deb liborbit0_0.3.0-1_i386.deb gnome-panel_0.30-1_i386.deb libpanel-applet0_0.30-1_i386.deb gnome-session_0.30-1_i386.deb libungif3g_3.0-2_i386.deb libglib1.1_1.1.3-1_i386.deb orbit_0.3.0-1_i386.deb libgnome0_0.30-1_i386.deb slib_2c3-3.deb libgtk1.1_1_3A1.1.2-1_i386.deb I pretty sure that's all of them. I placed them in the same directory and did a dpkg -i * and let dpkg do its thing. That seemed to work as I now have gnome working. I'm not sure if I updated any other packages for this or not. I had to upgrade some stuff to get lpr and apsfilter to install because I couldn't make lprng and magicfilter to work for me. Now only if I can figure out how to build window maker 0.50.2! > heck to I get online with Debian? I'm using wvdial right now. It's a snap to get configured. All you have to do is run wvdialconf as root. I then added my normal user account to groups dip and dialout so that I can run wvdial. Also don't forget to add your DNS addresses to the /etc/resolv.conf file like so: search . nameserver ###.###.###.### nameserver ###.###.###.### If you need more help, the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO is invaluable.
