No. because the 8.2 sources do not have gtk2.0 in them. To run Rox 1.3 you will need gtk2.0, and in order to get that installed you will have to update an awful lot of packages. I would recommend going to 9.0 There is always a better release "just around the corner". In my experience 9.0 is just great. Rox 1.3 is very nice, but if you run Fluxbox/Blackbox there is a conflict between the Right mouse button between them that means that running the Rox pinboard is more trouble than it is worth IMO. So now I run Rox with the panel instead. derek
