Sorry if I'm not up on the lingo (or am just misunderstanding....). Are
you asking to build an ISO to run under VMware for QMail? I thought of
building an ISO installer, but the issue that stops me is D.
Bernstein's
license... He does not allow QMail to be distributed in binary format -
only source code. I know, could have it build during install, but that
adds time to the install, and with the scripts everyone has already
released to install it it hasn't been high on my side-project list.
Or are you asking for something different?
This is not an ISO, but a VMware image. You boot the image with a
vmware product such as the free vmware player. It is ment to be ready
to run with little or no modification.
Okay, very similar. It may be something I'll look into in the future. I
honestly won't get time for a couple months, though. If you want to
continue with it, remind me sometime in the middle of May, and I'll
have some time to look into it again (hopefully).
