RE: Installing GNOME and KDE on Woody



I avoided tasksel because it failed on install.  I tried it just now and the
error message says:
No Tasks found on this system.
Did you update your available file?

I looked in /var/lib/dpkg/available and it's a huge file with lots of
packages and has a date of today.  I checked the man page for tasksel and
dpkg and didn't see anything about updating available.

Still, I'm just trying to install Gnome and KDE on Woody.

Anybody know how to do this?

Check out the tasksel command.
