You are on the right track: adjusted your sources.list. Next run "apt-get update", which updates your local indexes of available software, and then run "apt-get install gnome". My recommended way to run gnome 2.4 on debian is to just upgrade to sarge. I already run 5 production boxes in a 24x7 operation with it for over a month now for 5 complete unix illaterates without a glitch. Two of 'm are even secretaries! Just change every "woody" in your sources.list to "sarge", run "apt-get update" and then "apt-get dist-upgrade". Prepare to have to wait though!
