I haven't yet looked into RH 6.0, but previous versions of Red Hat
installed sendmail whether you did a fresh install or an upgrade.
I haven't yet tried this, but I believe you can get RH to stop throwing
sendmail at you during the install simply by creating an empty RPM, naming
it sendmail, and setting it's version to 99.99, or something like that. I
do not believe that RH's installer overwrites high-versioned RPMs.
