OK, can I leave all of the files where they were. Like the daemontools that I
stuck into the /tpm/..? And delete that later?
The Life with Qmail looked simpler, but I was already well into the other
install before I realized that.
I am working via ssh from a windoze machine so I guess I can cut from a brower
and paste to a fiel and upload that.
By the "typical" permissions error - I meant the typical permissions error,
not that qmail typically had that error.
I am enjoying Linux for the most part. I was making steady progress until I
encountered sendmail and thought I slit my wrists before I'd go through that
mess. The install for qmail seems much more straight forward than just trying
to understand sendmail.
Thank you!
