You are on the right track: adjusted your sources.list.
Next run "apt-get update", which updates your local indexes
of available software, and then run "apt-get install gnome".
My recommended way to run gnome 2.4 on debian is to just upgrade
to sarge. I already run 5 production boxes in a 24x7 operation
with it for over a month now for 5 complete unix illaterates without a
glitch. Two of 'm are even secretaries! Just change every "woody"
in your sources.list to "sarge", run "apt-get update" and then
"apt-get dist-upgrade". Prepare to have to wait though! For
completeness, my sources.list:
deb http://mirror/debian sarge main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror/debian sarge main non-free contrib
deb http://mirror/debian sarge-proposed-updates main non-free
contrib
deb-src http://mirror/debian sarge-proposed-updates main non-free
contrib
deb http://mirror/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main non-free contrib
deb http://mirror/debian-non-US sarge-proposed-updates/non-US main
non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror/debian-non-US sarge-proposed-updates/non-US main
non-free contrib
deb http://mirror/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://mirror/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib
non-free
Sincerely,
Jan.
