When I saw the subject, I expected something a bit different - that you
had tried the apt-get install and had a list of virtually every gnome
1.4 application being removed in order to install Gnome 2 (you will get
that - clip the list to an editor or the printer, and after you can
re-install what you need - most are able to work in around Gnome 2, but
in order to install it, libraries they currently use will be removed,
requiring the applications' removal - at least until the successor is in
place.)
That said, I have not noticed anybody saying that Gnome 1.4 had to be
removed in order to install Gnome 2 - on the contrary, the two can
*somewhat* run concurrently. KDE 2.2 needs to be purged to update KDE to
the third generation - that may be where the message arose.
