Debian 2.2r3, kernel 2.4.5 and XF403???

[tony mollica <tmollica@silcom.com>]

Hello.  I'm about to upgrade my X from 3.3.6-11potato 
to 4.03 by way of the debs at 
http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha and using apt-get.
I've done the apt-get upgrade and started the apt-get
dist-upgrade and became somewhat queasy when the list
of packages to remove came up (below).  I would hate to
destroy a perfectly good running X.

How much of the above X stuff will be replaced by new X and what about
gnome being removed?  Will I have to now recompile gnome for the new
X 4.03?  Will I be able to re-install the programs listed above that
are not provided by the X packages, like xfmail for instance?

Any other info would be appreciated.

thanks,
