Hi All, I've been using Kmail for a month now with only a few problems. But I'm hearing good things about Evolution. I have just 80 MB of RAM, though. How does Evolution compare to other mail readers in memory usage? Also, I like KMail's fonts. It renders the fonts quickly, whereas other mail

I think the Evolution is snazzy, too. But I have personally, even with 1.0.5, had it devoured my mailbox which wasn't cool at all. Sypheed has never done that to me. Sylpheed is a perfect lightweight mailclient to use. Uzoma On 15 Jul 2002 12:21:45 -0400 David Poisson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

I'm trying to mount a floppy disk with a vfat filesystem. But it seems my kernel doesn't handle vfat at this point. I thought I enabled vfat support as a loadable module before compiling the kernel, but it seems I goofed. If I want to load a module to the kernel dynamically, from what I understa
