Hm, could you point me to that post, please? Web-archive maybe?

Ok.

Hm.

that's normal, as there is none. The events are stored as mails and 
transported via imap on sync (mail check).

Freebusy lists are created on the server, from the contents of the folders 
there. So once you have synced up your events (checked mail) the server will 
generate the fb lists from that and they will be available automatically, at 
the urls specified in the documentation.

Ok, apparently the rpms you use were built without debugging, so there isn't 
any usefull output. Pity, but not a problem for you.

Hm, looks completely normal.

I really wonder why running the side by side once made a difference. Can you 
confirm that it works without problems now both standalone and in Kontact? 
I'll try to reproduce with a new user and Suse's rpms, then.
