thanks Alexander. I had hoped for more but I figured it was probably
not possible. I'll just wait for the stable KDE3.4 and then remove what
I have and install it. I guess I'm stuck with a busted Evolution too.

A further thought regarding my previous post. I booted from my backup

on my regular drive has a functioning Kontact but crashing KMail (on
new message) and non-starting kaddressbook. Is there a way to copy
over KDE3.3.2 packages onto my hard drive for KMail and Kaddressbook
and eliminate the bad KDE3.4 packages so that I can use KDE3.4 yet
run the earlier functioning versions of Kmail and Kaddressbook from
the Kontact3.4 version? Or without Kontact for that matter-just stand
alone? How about copying over the necessary Evolution stuff to get
that working again?
My goal is to have an info suite that has email, contacts and
calendar and while Evolution works I'd prefer the KDE Kontact suite.
Either way I'd like to have something that works.
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure you can't mix KDE3.2 and KDE3.4. You _could_ remove
all of KDE3.4 and try to set your firewire drive up as a deb
source--and thereby install the KDE3.2 packages in the "correct" way
(assuming that you saved the .deb files).
The problem with just copying willy-nilly (i.e. copying files
directly) is that you can have a setup that seems OK to the
dependency engine, but which has versions of libraries that are
completely incompatible with what Fink thinks are installed--resulting
in hard-to-debug build or runtime failures.
