This is a known problem with STI console, but no bug was filed in the BTS. So 
I just filed one. IIRC, setting TERM to vt100 helps.

The gcc package is just a pseudopackage that depends on the right version gcc 
for the architecture, in this case gcc-3.0. Since gcc-3.0 is not yet in the 
archive it can't find the dependency. As Richard pointed out, use the debs on 
puffin.external.hp.com for now. I am working on getting those integrated and 
in the Debian archive.

XFree86 is in the Debian archive but you can't run a local Xserver yet. You 
can run apps remotely and even use Xnest. Does this answer your question?
