What rpm's did you dl & try to install? When I started this, I brought
all Helix rpms up to the version on the Helix website pkg list. Then I
dl'd & got Nautilus up & running. Once there, I dl'd just the Evo rpm to
see what dependency issues might still exist. Only 2 other pkgs to
install at that point. The stable Evo version is from 1/13. I'm waiting
for a concensus from the list as to the next one to grab. I've made this
my day-to-day mail app and can't afford stability issues.
