trying to install qmailtoaster but
I have NO knowledge of linux as such , I have read the stable,txt page on their web site ,then I read the current-install script.
I am really confused here because at the bottom of the notes file it says this in notes Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 is nearly identical to Redhat 9, use the --with rht90 switch. What does this mean , where do I use this and how, then in the current install script it says this DISTRO=mdk102 ARCH=i586 RPMDIR=redhat that confuses me again , becuase I am using RHEL 3 , yet when I looked on the red hat site all the rpms etc are in a i386 directory if I remember correctly so what do I put in them ?, DISTRO=rht90 ARCH=i386 RPMDIR=redhat I find it rather sad that when someone who has no idea other than a book and a set of discs in frint of them tries to load linux for the first time and then install a mail programme or other stuff these people assume they are dealing with either seasoned linux users or people who have knowledge of what , where , when and how !. I wish they would put an explanation of what these things mean and how to find it out in the files !. If anyoner can help, I would appreciate it, it has been driving me nuts trying to load up qmail etc. |

u can go on with redhat 9. it should work well.
