From my own very limited experimenting with Kolab and Mandrake [1] I would 
recommend that you uninstall the kolab-server rpm and then make sure that the 
kolab user and group is removed before installing Kolab from the source 
rpm's. The Kolab install creates it's own kolab user and group (actually 
three - kolab, kolab-n and kolab-r).

What I did was stopped all the Mandrake services that clashed with Kolab and 
then did 
ln -s /kolab/var/kolab/www/html /var/www/html

So my existing URL's changed from http://localhost/index.html to 
http://localhost/html/index.html.

As I've said though - this is from my very limited experience.

stuffed something up in the process :-(
