As I pointed out earlier I could install full gnome-desktop-environment using apt-get or aptitude with this single CD. Hence it should be possible. Let me repeat once again - with this single CD - aptitude shows gnome-desktop-enviornment as a task and does install perfectly without additional mirror or cd. The system on which I installed is working fine without additional cd or mirror - serving my purpose. Only problem is tasksel doesn't show it either while installing or later running tasksel manually. I encountered same proble earlier with a DVD dowinloaded using jigdo. I thought it may be a temporary problem and didn't raise bug. Raman.P -- blog:http://ramanchennai.wordpress.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
