At this point I can't install ANYTHING with apt... I don't really like the
menu driven dselect, I find it a little too clumsy.
You'd think a "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" would upgrade everything, but it
doesn't!?!
I tried a "apt-get install xserver-common" but all it does is complain
about the gnome crap... Doesn't even meantion xserver-common!
