Re: how to install Gnome?? xfree 4.??

[Xucaen <xucaen@yahoo.com>]

Hi, the version of Xfree that I installed is the
stock version that comes with the debian 3.0 r1
CDs. I assume it is 4.1.?? and I just want to
install the stock version of gnome that comes
with the debian 3.0 r1 CDs. I'm not even sure
what version it is, I am assuming it is version
2.??
What packages for Gnome did you install to get
Gnome up and running? Is gnome-core the only one?
or are there other dependencies? 

Thanks!!!

Jim
