I don't have a clue of that stuff, but what about installing with
appropriate UIDs/GIDs for your machine, then saving the resulting
binaries, keep them as "known good" copies and MD5 'em?
Understandably, John wants to put as little burden on the installer as
possible, and saving a known good copy of the qmail binaries in a
"safe" place is a burden. He wants the CD hold the known good
copies. That is a safe place, and even if the sysadm loses it, can
order a second set.
I think what John wants to do (but choose the range David suggests) is
very reasonable---but I think it will not fly with Dan.
