 You are right, I did ask to install packages from the network. I
realize now my mistake - an array is a somewhat stable development
version and downloading packages during installation makes it bleeding
edge. I guess I thought that downloading form the network would make it
a more up-to-date array 4 :-) I just re-installed Hoary without
downloading from the network and this time I got through all the way to
the Gnome desktop.

I still don't have proper icons in place. All of them are replaced with
an icon depicting a sheet of paper - only exeptions being the panel and
the menus, which have the icons they normally have. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advise :-)
