Evolution doesn't explicitly call mozilla - it calls on GNOME's URL handler (which you can change by the way - mine calls Galeon, and before, Opera). At least it works on my debian boxes. What they did (the Ximian dudes who packaged the debian packages) was they made a custom script since the one supplied in the official builds (read: binary tarballs) are built on Slackware and assumed to be dumped altogethter in one directory. Thus the system can call Mozilla as if it was just another app in your system. Of course, you can hack your own script as you compile your own Mozilla (which in CVS is more than 300MB). > In any case, can rpm be able to just pick 1 file from an rpm package, > then "install" it in a desired directory?

I'm not sure (I haven't explored rpms as I did with debs), but I just use Midnight Commander, peek at the files contained in the rpm (it's just another archive format with special rules anyway) then copy the wanted file inside to my place of choice. A lazy solution anyway... When I get in the "mood" (of being a masochist ;) I try extracting all the contents of the debian package (there's a saner way, but I've yet to RTFM what it is...) -- -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG KeyID 0xEADFF6F4 Tel# (632)6429577 Fax# (632)6429561 Mobile# +639174379283 ___________________________________________________________________ "You are a software developer.
