success with helixcode on potato; thanks



Hi-

Thanks for the great followups on how to get Potato (or slink plus),
upgraded to Helixcode.  The default method for apt-getting did not work for
me whatsoever.  A subscriber then told me to use "apt-get dist upgrade"
after changing my /etc/apt/sources.list to the spidermonkey stuff.  This
worked but for some reason did not give me everything.  I did not get the
applets or games completely and gmc would not work due to a dependency on a
deb called eject which acts to eject cd's.  This deb is not located on
spidermonkey and I got it from the regular old unstable site and then gmc
began working.  The final remaining issue was one over libguile which seemed
to take me before into circular dependency issues; but now seems resolved. 

Thanks all!  I found that my slink or slinkato or whatever desktop took this
quite well.  I have a full fledged potato dell latitude ls which I want to
try next with.
