G'day...

No... Evolution is in the standard directory... sorry, when I said "parts"
I was intending to mean "packages" ie RPM packages. (I usually leave things
as default where possible.)

I've started using yum - which I found to be good (maybe I should have just
installed apt) ... however, I added a repository and performed an upgrade
of my system - shortly after this my system started going wierd... anyone
know how to downgrade the gnome parts of my system?

(I've downgraded evolution, which includes wombat in the package, to no
avail.) :(

I'm actually tossing up if I should be installing Debian vs RedHat in my
mind... Have to be truthful and say that I'm quite suprised that Woody is
still the latest release...!

I've run both before, and I find that RH both installs and looks nicer
straight out of the box... I'm wondering if Debian is more stable when
upgrading from the stable repository...

(And after all, Debian is *all* free...)

Thanks for your help so far...

All the best...

Mike

Parts? How? If you've installed Evolution to a different prefix, it's
probably still running the system-installed wombat (or vice versa).

Yeah, no point sticking with RH9 when FC2 is around. :-)
