Looking at http://linuxmint.com/rel_isadora_whatsnew.php, "What's new in Linux Mint 9 Isadora?", I can see, it's based on ubuntu 10.04 with a relatively current kernel (2.6.32), which should have a recent kvm on it. So, I'd recommend to you to follow instructions at http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/HOWTO1 to set up the vm. Download the fedora 15 iso from http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Live/i686/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso. After installation of fedora 15, don't forget to do a Software update with their update manager. That should give you the latest evolution 3.0.3. Hope that helps. -- thomas _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
