Wonderful Debian Gnu/linux will or should grab the x-11 server packages that gnome needs. Go into aptitude and search for gnopernicus. When you find it, hit enter on it to see info about the packages it will tell you the dependencies. If it could depend on package A or package b, it will say something like --depends dummy-server1.4| dummy-utils-1.5, those are made up names. You probably already know how to use aptitude, but I'll list just a few commands here. the question mark ? is for help when you get to the end of the screen, use pagedown to read more of the help. the fordware slash / is for search. When the search finds a package, hit enter to see the package, but you haven't yet gone into the info about that package. You are at this point in the list which contains that package. When you have selected a package to install, you'll need to hit enter after you hear total progress 100% downloaded, or something like that. When scrolling through the list of packages, use your say current line command frequently to ensure you're on the line you think you're on. Sometimes speakup won't say the correct line right away. Someone else can handle your mail query, because I don't use gnome. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speak Up Mailing List" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 12:08 PM Subject: Installing gnome on sarge and x11 hi, this of course is slightly off topic but I am using debian testing the speakup modifyed base install. I installed it and just added a few packages like speech dispatcher lynxfestival flite dectalk 5 cdrecord lynx kernel 2.47 speakup saytime saydate and that is all I have installed. I know I need to get gnome with the command apt-get install gnome and I need to get goprenicus but what should I get to install the x11 server first. Thanks. Also what should I use that is the easyist way to brows my windows network. I want some thing easy to use. Also I want a email program under gnome or command that is easy to use like outlook. I am trying to find the easyist and best programs to use across the board so I can put linux on all my systems and so an nontechical user will be able to just get in and use the system. My girl is not techical at all and I want to make things as easy for her as I can. Thanks. I also want to say here I am having more fun with linux learning it then I have ever had with any other operating system there is just so many ways to do things. Thanks for all the help so far. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
