Ok,

I tried apt-get install evolution and got this back:

I've never been in the situation of having to do this, but try

 dpkg --configure -a

- it cannot do any harm and may reset the dpkg configuration successfully. Then try

apt-get install evolution

Hey GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!

It's all installed... EVOLUTION is on my USB Key and ready to use.

And it's your fault

Seriously, Thanks for your guidance .

Now I have to get Evolution plug ins. Microsoft Exchange server is part of that plug in.

Any ideas on where to get that?

Cheers,

Marc

2] Unfortunately I do not have experience of working with a PERSISTENT HOME USB key, so I may not be able to help much more ...
... but it *may* be that the USB key does not have sufficient memory free to accommodate the 'installation' process for Evolution.
Evolution is a package that uses a lot of Gnome libraries, many of which are not present ab initio in Knoppix (CD or, probably, USB versions) and so needs a lot of storage space.
Your best option might be to transplant your system to a larger USB key if possible; maybe some experts in using USB keys could advise ?
To get a response I suggest that you start a new thread with appropriate title for that.
[EDITED after seeing your new post above : EXCELLENT please ignore this posting ]

Never used them myself, but I expect that you could find them with the Search boxes in
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

It's Ok,

I installed the EVOLUTION-EXCHANGE package, and evolution is Sooo Happy now!!!

Thanks for everything again.

Take Care.
