How do I go about installing Gnome2 on a debian box.

apt-get install gnome2-core .... but to no avail.......

Any Help on this would be fantastic


`apt-get install gnome` should work. More details would help. What
kind of error messages do you get?


'apt-get install gnome' will work. I did this two days ago. However, I
can't seem to get one thing working correctly. Even though I know
metacity is running (ps aux|grep metacity), it looks like I'm using kde
controls/widgets. The x-window-manager is set to use metacity. I haven't
figured it out yet. The fonts still aren't quite right either but I'm
still playing with it. Seriously though, you can't beat a Debian-based
distro that autodetects tons o' hardware and installs in 10 minutes...



if you're using some sort of knoppix-like distro, try Gnoppix. same as Knoppix but with Gnome.
