Hello!
I have been trying to install Avant Windows Navigator for Jaunty, but it won't accept Hardy's source.
and it gives "Broken Package" in the terminal when i want to install it.
Any Idea?

If you want to install AWN do this:
Type this in the terminal: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list And enter your password.
Than add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main and deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main to the list and save it.
And now just enter sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-trunk awn-manager-trunk awn-extras-applets-trunk
And your done.
But if you want to install Cairo-Dock than do this:
Go to this page (http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724) and download the latest (probably stable) .deb files.
First run the cairo-dock_v...... file and then the cairo-dock-plug-ins...... file and install them.
And your done (again).

use synaptic... worked for me! just search for awn (click on the search button, don't do a quick search), and it should have all the core packages and extras.

AWN is included in the Ubuntu Repos. Open Synaptic and search for avant-window-manager
