Hello everyone,

Richard also sent me Libranet 1.9.1 (lovely chap).  I uninstalled pretty much everything - down to a real skeleton Debian system - and then updated via Libranet, and hey presto, I'm running 4.0.2.

Now, is 4.0.3 (on the Debian 2.2 Update Linux Expo 2001) not okay to install?  And if not (I don't want to have to go through all the trouble again) how can I update all my gnome stuff?

Thanks

Harvey

p.s Debian's lovely isn't it?  And no, I'm not being sarcastic - very easy install, I don't know what you techies moan about :)
