I too am having the same problem, the following is my posting to the Ximian
list:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi,
I am running Mandrake 7.2 on Intel and want to use Gnome desktop and
Evolution. I followed the instructions on the Evolution web pages for using
go-gnome to install the latest Ximian Gnome components over the net.
Everything worked fine i.e. the desktop came up properly at the end of the
install. When I rebooted the system (I have a dual boot installation one
disk for Linux the other for MS windoze) the graphical logon said that Gnome
was not installed on my machine and did I want to use the "default". I'm
stuck at this point in the process and haven't been able to get any closer
to Evolution.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Haven't tried to go around the graphical login and boot directly to the
console after a successful install and see what happens from there yet. Will
try today.
Joseph
