I use KDE3 and wanted the latest Evolution in order to sync my Clie with it. I went to www.usr-local-bin.org and downloaded the rpms, installed them and have had no problems at all with either KDE or Evolution and the Clie syns up just fine. Greg Engel

The only problem I had was "nautilus" got started somehow by Evolution 1.2.1 and replaced the desktop. Starting nautilus explicitly and turning this auto-start desktop stopped that behavior.
That's because being a GNOME application, if you used the Help menus, it used the GNOME help viewer, which by default in GNOME2 is Nautilus. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

Sure, no problem! You might run into some dependency issues if you try to install just the evolution package, but they don't interfere with KDE. Just go ahead with it (including with the dependant/depending packages) and you'll be fine. If you use Yast (or apt-get with the APT repository) to install it, you can't go wrong. cheers, Marcel
