When installing gNewSense, it's best to use the actual gNewSense
installer rather than installing Dapper and then installing gNewSense
packages over that. Is there a reason you're using the Dapper
installer rather than one of the gNewSense installers?

You can find the gNewSense installers (There are both KDE and Gnome
installers) http://cdimage.gnewsense.org/ and you'll want either of
the 1.1 images.

Once installed there will be a taskbar applet notifying you of
updates. In the command line interface you can issues the commands
"apt-get update" to check the repos for updates and then "apt-get
dist-upgrade" to upgrade the packages you've got that are behind.
