Another option would be to use Linux-Mandrake. I'd follow the above
steps as well (the BIND update is a definate *must*!!!! don't use
anything below 8.2.3, the current release).
You can also go to http://www.freezer-burn.org/qmail.php for help on
installing qmail under Linux-Mandrake with pre-built rpms that follow
the distribution license (ie. you can further configure/customize
qmail with LWQ without any conflicts or problems).
