Gabriel, What I am asking would apply to any distro. I am not planning on going to CentOS - not this week, and not ever. I am not saying I don't like CentOS, but that I have found one that I like, and want to stick with it. Many people use other distros. What I am asking in a simple fashion is:
1. How do I adapt the svcs script and firewall script to work for me? If not - what svcs and firewall settings need to be in effect. This information is sorely lacking int the toaster directions. 2. How do I adapt the install script to work for me? What changes should be made, or should I use the rpm rebuild command? I would think that information should be available somewhere. This system is setup to make the installation easier. It just needs some tweaking to make it complete, for everyone. I applaud the folks that have worked this hard to get where it is today, now I implore them to make it even better. That is what has drawn me to open source software. I don't like the M$ tactics - but their stuff is simple for the novice. The toaster can be just as simple - with more complete directions and directives. I would love to help build those - if I can just get a simple answer to the few questions I have asked. For some silly reason - I want this project to do well, I am basing a server, my one and only mail server on that. Maybe I am the silly one - I don't know. Please don't ask my wife to answer that one!!! We are a very small wireless ISP in a rural area in Oklahoma, and I mean rural. We are going to use the toaster to provide email services for that ISP. As I have said in the past - I am a linux newb, but the people I have conversed with thus far, have sold me on open source. Sorry to ramble - it is late, and has been a long week. I am going to try to get this thing completed tomorrow evening, I am just looking for the answers to make sure that a stupid mistake doesn't have me re-formatting drives - again. Thanks. Jack D.

However, maybe you can try with CentOS 4.1 Many of us in the mailing list would be glad to help you in further. Meanwhile, you can do it manually by compiling and install all packages. I'm afraid there might have lost some packages, then you can install the certain packages. You may follow the installation guide in www.qmailtoaster.com for steps by steps packages installed.
