Re: Debian Potato and Helix Gnome
Hi Glyn, I suspect that they just call it woody because it came after the potato freeze - it doesn't seem to depend on anything in woody. I installed it on a Potato system with no (significant) problems. cheers, damon Quoth J. Glyn Hughes, New to Debian, I am a happy convert from RH, MDK, SuSE et al. Having had quite a scoot around, I am having trouble getting hold of Helix Gnome for Potato - they only seem to have a binary release for Woody. I have seen references by those clearly more talented than I to installing (perhaps shoe-horning) Helix onto Debian Potato, I know it's possible. Quite happy to investigate / play myself, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction - for what where should I look if I want (the very wonderful, apparently) Helix Gnome on my Debian 'Potato'.

The only thing I found that required woody was a dependency on libguile6 1:1.3.4-3. Potato provides 1.3.4-2. This was only for the games I think. I upgraded libguile6 to the woody version and all was well. Running nicely on potato. dyer

As you don't need these packages (i.e. you have not a palm pilot) you don't need anything from the woody. bye Gianluca -- Home Page Contro i brevetti del sw Boicotta Microsoft www.infinito.it/utenti/chewbe no-patents.prosa.it/ www.boycott-ms.org/ If we have to file a thousand lawsuits a day, we'll do it.
