I didn't mean to *tell* you exactly what to do, I just pointed out that it
was possible to install Gnome 2.4 in pieces, which is what I did, and
listed *some* of my installed packages by way of example. The list is
incomplete. Perhaps you should back out the packages you installed and
wait for the metapackage.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood me.
