[plug] Debian Woody -- installing Gnome

[Daniel Pearson]

Sol,
The woody/gnome2 must just be how it shows the output when it gives the
error msg, as this is what is currently in my file without me making any
changes.
workstation:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://people.debian.org/~kov/debian woody gnome2
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~kov/debian woody gnome2

Regards,
Daniel
