Ah that explains a great deal..... having said that my copy (bought and
paid for) doesn't seem to have Evolution on it.  The edition on Linux
format seems to have a problem with OpenOffice.org... and I can't access
windows drives at all (can't get logged on as root - only seems to allow
me logging on as user).  But then I really am a newbie, Currently happy
with Mandrake 9.00.  I suspect next time I upgrade I may try Debian,
though downloading stuff off the net with dial up seems a bit of a non
starter so its off to the Linux Emporium next month to by the full
Debian set.

On a different subject, how are the plans for the install/awareness day
going?
