Re: INSTALL REPORT - Gnome does NOT! load

[Daniel Cardenas <Daniel.Carden@cox.net>]

I know why it worked 10 days ago when I installed.  I was following someone 
else's install instructions at:
http://www.pcc-services.com/debian_install.html

Thanks Sebastien and Steve for the help and fix.

Interesting that this perceived easy to fix critical bug was first reported on 
Oct 31 and took 2 months for a fix.  I hope not too many Debian newbies were 
turned off in this time.
