Thanks Oscar!

I have to comment, that your reply brings up my single largest complaint
about Linux installations: Inconsistancy.
I've been a Unix admin for a long time. Done a lot of server builds ( I
do enterprise server administration, not desktop ), with AIX, and HP-UX,
and never suffered this kind of inconsistancy. I realize that it's
harder to write for the PC environment, because of the huge variations
in hardware, but:

As an example:
The first time I loaded 8.1 (on this box), I had problems with the
sound. I had to configure the sound card "every time I rebooted the
machine". Then, a week or so ago, I needed to re-load the box. Now the
sound card works just fine. Why? Why did it not work before, and it does
work now? I've had other similar inconsistancies, but they have slipped
my mind at the moment.

Why am I bringing this up?
Well...
On my previous build, Evolution would not remember passwords (just as
you've described). But on THIS build, it does! What's different?
Nothing. It's just not consistant, and it should be. A box shouldn't
change behaviour dramatically, when you re-load the same OS, from the
same CDs.

Just a personal sore point with Linux. I see a lot of it on these lists,
and soem of it I write off as operator differences. Very often the human
element gets involved in the install. Different people do the install,
and get different results. "Some" of that I can understand. But not to
the extent that I see it, and not on the same box, installed by the same
person...
One of my favorite inconsistancies is "Tuxracer". For "some" people, it
works just great, and for others it doesn't. And there seems  to be no
rational explanation for why. For many of the folks for whom it doesn't
work, it has fired right up when run as root, but fails when run as a
normal user. (I'm one of those). Nobody seems to know why.

Consistancy is not too much to ask for is it?
</rant>

However, getting back to the topic at hand.

I'm willing to risk the "upgrade" to 1.0.1 printing problem. Since my
password problem seems to have gone away, maybe the printing will work
to. :) It's worth a try. More likely, I'll get the printing problem, and
then loose my passwords when I go back down to 1.0
