Had to fiddle around a bit to get Xorg installed/configured, but I'm back in the saddle again. Thanks for your help, Florian!

Newb Hoses Install - Story at 11
Hi all, An upgrade (under Etch) doesn't want to finish. I clicked 'Mark All Upgrades' in Synaptic, but it keeps failing on udev. It says: udev requires a kernel >= 2.6.12, upgrade aborted. However, the newest kernel I show in Synaptic is only 2.6.8. The 'Mark All Upgrades' process did finish installing MOST of Gnome 2.10, and although I can boot into Gnome 2.10, it's not usuable (menu won't display, key shortcuts don't work, mouse speed is way off and won't adjust using gnome-mouse-properties, gconf doesn't run, etc.). So I'm sending this SOS from IceWM. Some history. I did a dist-upgrade a month or so back following these steps. 1. Backup /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all 'stable' to 'testing' (or 'unstable') 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get upgrade (necessary?) 4. apt-get -u dist-upgrade I must've left an 'untesting' in there somewhere (I think it was just some Scribus files), so my virtual terminal now says GNU/Linux testing/unstable'. Anyway, any tips would be much obliged. I don't mind doing a fresh install if that's what is needed. Thanks for reading...
