Something I forgot to mention... I haven't actually tested these. I will by tomorrow, though. I've elected to download to a machine elsewhere and burn to a CD instead of waiting for my 56k modem to crunch through them. However, I'm fairly sure I've fixed most of the dependancy problems that I noticed. gnucash from debian proper and gnome-games conflict because of differences in libguile out of all those packages installed, none depend on libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2, yet gnome-session should. Others probably should as well, but I hadn't gotten that far. I don't know if ximian plans a fix for gnucash. Terry Yelmene said:

Thanks Orion... This is the configuration I wanted to upgrade to. This helps! tyelmene tyelmene@3c3art.com

...

Just in case anyone here uses Debian and is thinking of installing Ximian1.4, the directions that say to apt-get install task-helix-gnome are wrong. I've gone and made some task packages based on what helix/ximian used to have for its previous release. Just add this to your sources.list and you can use them:

deb http://zork.net/~orion potato main

(or s/potato/unstable/ of you prefer)

also, if you need a deb-src line for ximian, until they fix it (IF they fix it) you need to use this instead of what they say:

deb-src http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian/ dists/potato/main/sources/

(again, s/potato/woody/ if you wish)
