Re: Gnome 2

[Ben Hill <debian@javacoder.net>]

I just had a similar thing, and added:

# Stable release
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

# Gnome 2.2
deb
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/ gnome2.2/

# xfree86 4.2.1
deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 ./

to my /etc/apt/sources.list.

I then did a:

apt-get install xserver-xfree86

...then:

apt-get install gnome-core gtk2-engines* gdm gnome

And that installed Gnome. I did have one config problem, but ran the
config again and that seemed to work.

I now have a shiny new Gnome 2.2 environment on Debian, with thanks to
the guys here.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Ben
