Remember, unstable -- will be unstable. If X4.2 is the only thing you *need* then install the base system of stable (Woody) and add this to your /etc/apt/sources: deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 ./ then run tasksel and add your X-Server.
If you want GNOME - then 2.2 debs can be found at: deb http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody gnome2.2/ deb-src http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody gnome2.2/ add that to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run: apt-get update && apt-get install gnome The KDE3 backport will break your system, so don't even try if your not prepared to get down and dirty with your system ;) Cheers, Chris On Tue, 2003-03-25 at 19:36, Mick Boda wrote: > Hi All, > > My Windows 2000 went to poo and I (As I'm inclined to do when I've had > enough, erased my entire hardrive and have started from scratch. > Nothing like a clean slate. > > I'm going to be reinstalling Debian woody tonight, I was wondering if I > should install the unstable version which (I understand) comes with > xfree86 4.2 ready to roll. > > Also, does anyone have any recommended sources to add to Apt-Get during > the installation phase. > > Or, Should I just install the base system and ue apt-get to download > all the xwindows stuff.
