You could download the source package from unstable and compile it (you'll need gtkhtml3.0 as well). If you are running a 2.6 kernel, you will need to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL enviroment variable equal to 2.4.18 (or some other 2.4.x kernel) in order to compile it properly. Otherwise it should work fine. its pretty simple really: apt-get -t unstable source evolution gtkhtml3.0 cd gtkhtml3.0 dpkg-buildpackage dpkg -i ../gtkhtml3.0*.deb cd ../evolu* #optional step: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.18; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL dpkg-buildpackage dpkg -i ../evolution*.deb thats about it. you will need the debhelper package installed, and you may need to download some packages that are needed for compiling the package as well. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
