Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to say that I'm building a lightweight
LXDE LiveCD, so I don't install gnome or gnome-desktop-environment.
gnome-system-tools includes many small applications, I just want to install
2 of them, they are graphical applications to manage users/groups and
date/time. My machine has a minimal LXDE dekstop too, I installed these 2
applications successfully with "--without-recommends" option.

Regards,
Hung
