just the evolution (the email bit) .deb is 10Mb. I guess all the other gnome libs add up as well but it's not too enormous. > I've read that Evolution is a bit unstable without Ximian gnome, has anyone > found this? if you mean the whole ximian thing rather than just evolution, no. My machine at work is RH 6.2 (cos I haven't got round to changing it!) with gnome and enlightenment. The sysadmin guy at work just installed the following rpms on it: ORBit-0.5.12-ximian.1.i386.rpm oaf-0.6.7-ximian.2.i386.rpm libxml-1.8.15-ximian.2.i386.rpm gdk-pixbuf-0.11.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgnomeprint15-0.31-ximian.1.i386.rpm gnome-libs-1.2.13-ximian.11.i386.rpm bonobo-1.0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm gal-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgal18-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgtkhtml20-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm gtkhtml-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm libbonobo-conf0-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm GConf-1.0.4-ximian.1.i386.rpm bonobo-conf-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm libnss3-0.9.5-ximian.1.i386.rpm gnome-vfs-1.0.1-ximian.5.i386.rpm pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm gnome-pilot-0.1.63-ximian.2.i386.rpm evolution-1.0-ximian.3.i386.rpm and I restarted Xwindows and it all worked. (he worked out the dependencies! I couldn't be stuffed, one day I'll install debian on it) It's been over a week now and has been perfectly stable. The "contacts" part of evolution has died once but email kept working. No lost email like netscape/mozilla and no pregnant pauses either switching mailboxes and so on. It has for now at least tempted me away from mutt (at work anyway). Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
