Re: Getting gnome helix running on potato
Is there a mirror of helixcode in Europe with the possibility to downlaod the stuff with apt? Very often the speed is very slow and besides it is a waste of bandwidth downloading from Austria. Stephan

I did a little Woodage for the Helix-GNOME install. I'm still mostly Potato. Here's what I did: 1) Change the stable to unstable lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and add deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main to it. 2) apt-get update 3) apt-get install task-helix-gnome 4) Change the unstable lines in sources.list back to stable. (Except for the helixcode entry.)

Unfortunately, the computers in question are behind a web proxy which requires manually logging on, so that http access method of apt won't work are we unstuck?

Re: Getting gnome helix running on potato
Add deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distiributions/debian unstable main to /etc/apt/sources.list run apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade This will grab the helix stuff for you and leave everything else alone just to make sure read what packages it is going to upgrade before you say yes. I've done this it works well and I'm very happy with it. Apt? Is there anything it can't do? -- Original Message -- From: Martin Waller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 16:54:27 GMT Hello, I have a friend here who abandoned potato 'cos he couldn't get gnome helix running under potato.

I don't see anything other than http lines mentioned on the Helix Code sites. http://www.helixcode.com Got modems and a lot of time on your hands? :) Or at least use a modem to download it to one machine and then use apt-move to create an internal apt source.
