[Kolab-devel] Build failure of Kolab 2.1.0 RC2 on Fedora 6

[Joon Radley]

Hi Thomas,

It looks very good and I agree the README should not be clustered. Could you
maybe just draw attention to the wiki before the build, as this is where it
would do the most good? An example:

-See http://kolab.org/ for general information about Kolab,
-or look at http://wiki.kolab.org/ for specific topics.

+See http://kolab.org/ for general information about Kolab. Before 
+building your Kolab system have a look at http://wiki.kolab.org/ 
+for any hints about building Kolab on your specific Linux distribution.

Best Regards
