I am not sure. To connect to the Internet, I just switch ON the modem. 
In gNewSense 2.3 (which I was using before) the notification icon did 
show that "the computer is tethered to the Internet", this not true 
anymore with gNewSense Parkes alpha 1.

I think we have, inadvertently, found a bug in here. In the "Software 
Sources" dialog (accessible from System-->Administration-->Software 
Sources) when I "check" the 'DSFG-compatible Software with Non-Free 
Dependencies (contrib)' & 'Non-DSFG-compatible Software (non-free)', 
they are not "checked". Now, when I open my '/etc/apt/sources.list' 
file, I see this line:

> deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib non-free

I ran a "apt-get update". I get the error that I previously mentioned 
before. Now, if I ran "apt-cache search adobe", I get :
