trying to add gnome to 4.0.2 cd
howdy.....
I've been able to remaster 4.0.2 with kde pretty well - but I want to remove kde and add gnome instead.
From all the read-me's, the procedure is:
Comment all the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list except the unstable ones.
Then:
apt-get update
apt-get install gnome
Then, in order to have gnome-session working, you must execute the following and choose metacity:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
But, when apt-get update, says can't find katonix. Also gives more errors:
Code:
root@1[knoppix]# apt-get update gnome
E: The update command takes no arguments
root@1[knoppix]# apt-get install gnome
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.14.3.6) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-office (= 1:2.14.3.6) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gdm-themes but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-cups-manager (>= 0.30) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-themes-extras but it is not going to be installed
Depends: rhythmbox (>= 0.9.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: synaptic (>= 0.53.4) but it is not going to be installed or
gnome-apt but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-screensaver (>= 2.14.3) but it is not going to be installed or

Depends: gnome-power-manager (>= 2.14.2) but it is not going to be installed or
xscreensaver but it is not going to be installed
Depends: totem-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
hpijs: Depends: gs-gpl (>= 8.01-5) but it is not going to be installed or
gs-esp (>= 7.07.01-8) but it is not going to be installed or
gs-afpl (>= 7.04-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
here's the cd's souces.list:
even tried a sources.list from a thread:
What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated...
cheers (:

Probably your main problem is that the meanings of 'testing' and so on have changed since Debian Etch was released as 'stable' a few months ago.
I don't run Knoppix 4.0.2 so I don't know off-hand whether it is compatible with the Etch libraries; as it's quite old Sarge might be a better bet. (Sarge now = 'oldstable' ). Anyway suggest you simplify your sources.list using something like the following:
For Sarge:Or for Etch:You might want to change the national location of your mirror in the above

thanks JohnnyH.....
I must admit, this is first time I actually used the web to install packages - I'd always just built/installed by source. I even tried sources.list from 5.0.2 dvd, but the same errors.
I'll give it a shot.
cheers (:
