Actually a while after sending this I found either the solution or a work around I'm not sure which it is yet. I ran apt-get -f install then apt-get dselect-upgrade and found that the problem got worse so apt-get update, apt-get -f install and the apt-get dist-upgrade anf not dselect-upgrade and everything seems to be fine now. For the moment any way. So I got out the trusty notebook and jotted down the sequence and a note not to use apt-get dselect-upgrade. In other words kde, the parts of gnome I want and xfce which is perfect for what I need x11 for (small, fast not to many pretty lights but a good amount of usability) On Wednesday, August 14, 2002, at 05:58 AM, Alexander Hansen wrote:
