Hi Voici The package for xfree86 is not called "xfree". Xfree86 is not even packed into a single package. If you want a working graphical desktio, install (at least) the following packages: xserver-xfree86 xbase-clients xfonts-base xfonts-base-transcoded The same applies to Gnome -> The whole thing is split up into a lot of packages: gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-applets sawfish (These are not all gnome/xfree packages, but necessary ones will be installed due to their dependencies). The magic to find this out is done with a little program called "apt-cache" apt-cache search xfree gives you a list of all packages in your sources.list which contain in their name and description the word "xfree" hope that helps joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
