No, you can get the rpm and all the required dependent rpms from the cooker. Just put them in a directory. Become root and say: rpm -Uvh * (without the quotes) and you should be in business. Here is a list of what you'll need off the cooker: evolution-1.0.1-1mdk.i586.rpm

Something which can help in situations likes this is the man -k command. For example, man -k mount will give you all man pages which have anything to do with 'mount' including 'umount'. It's the same as the apropos command. Works well when you know the area of interest you want to find out a
