What DEBIAN distribution are you using?
If you are using Slink (the current frozen) or Potato (the current
unstable) then you don't need to do what's written on the GNOME page
because Slink and Potato already includes GNOME in the main tree.
So you only have to select the gnome stuff you need in dselect.

Well, I use debian but I compile GNOME from CVS and don't use the debian
packages. And I'm currently not sitting on my LINUX box.

Cheers, Martin.
