No, that's not it.   It doesn't care what's in the UserAgent header.  It's
just a shell script.

No, I've looked at the installer and the error I get is output by a
function called bail_os which is supposed to happen if:

* The output of uname -s is anything other than Linux or SunOS
* The output of uname -m is anything other than ppc, i[3456]86, or sun4
* or the distro is not in its list.

And of course RH 7.2 is not in the list.  Even the manual installer for RH
7.2 (referenced from
http://www.ximian.com/download/instructions.html?distribution=manual) at
ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/installers/installer-rpm-glibc2.2-i386.gz
didn't work.

Did anyone at Ximian actually try to install Ximian Gnome from scratch on
a fresh install of 7.2 before saying the installer supports 7.2?  I really
would like to get Evolution back up and running.
