(apt-get -f install) works harder at it, but (aptitude install) can use the interactive resolver for tough situations. >P.S.

Make sure you have gdm, kdm, or xdm installed and that it is running correctly. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
