Then i realized that, unlike earlier times, i was supposed to use "restart" after the problems. So the 60 packages that it deleted at the start stayed deleted. Including important things like Gaim and Firefox. i portinstalled gdm and then metacity before realizing i should just do gnome2. Thats running and probably will be for a while. Will this work or should i do something else to recover? i guess i can do the other packages like Gaim and firefox by hand, but i want the rest of it to work right, like booting into gdm/metacity/eterm like usual. Thanks--i do think the Updating doc should stress more clearly the need to use "restart'. Jen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
