[vox-tech] X fonts too small!

[Mark K. Kim]

Muhahahaha.... perfect.  I *like* Debian unstable.... (singing a different
tune...)

The Gnome/KDE issues seemed to be because I didn't sync dselect with
apt-get.  After updating the list on dselect, and installing the "gnome"
package, everything seems to be coherent and working.  Haven't checked KDE
but I'm sure it won't be hard getting that working too.  Serves me right
for not realizing sooner that dselect needs its own list updating...

Thanks Peter & Jonathan!

PS: Ahhhhh... Anacron just sent me a complaint saying it died while
rotating logs.  Ahhhh.... curses to Debian unstable!!!  heh... lol... ^_^;
