[newbie] wierd question

[Vic]

I have LM 7.

I wonder is there a way during the install that I can
tell it to not install postfix because I am incapable of
retrieving (2hell with spelling for now) my mail locally
off of the server.

If I don't see it in /var/spool/mail/user it does not exist.

Or is there a way I can get Pine or Kmail to look in another
folder?

What are the comparisons between psotfix and sendmail
and why do some prefer one over the other?/

Thanx
