Well, I gave it a shot and this email is send from toaster running on a
kurobox :-).
It was surprisingly easy. Me being almost a newbie, this is a testimony to
truly incredible work done both in the kurobox and qmail-toaster community.
Unbelievable.
As far as installation is concerned, I had only 1 issue. I could not start
iptables, error message "iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table
`filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your
kernel needs to be upgraded."
I'm running 2.6.17.1 kernel patched for kurobox, and I'm sure sooner or later
a solution will present itself, did not have time to investigate.
In broad outline, the steps to install qmail-toaster are just combination of
kurobox and qmail-toaster wikis:
install default os on kurobox
http://www.kurobox.com/mwiki/index.php/Manual_Setup
install U-boot and Fedora Core 5
http://www.kurobox.com/mwiki/index.php/Install_Fedora_Core_5
install qmail-toaster for FC5
http://www.qmailtoaster.com/centos/cnt40/EZ-QmailToaster-CentOS-4.3.txt
you need to change architecture in fdr50-install-script.sh from "i386"
to "ppc"
And that's all, takes a long time, but it works.
In case you wonder what the big deal is here with kurobox.
It is a tiny headless server, PPC 260 MHz processor with 128 MB ram, 2 usb
ports and 1 GB ethernet. It is dead quiet (less 20db) and installs one
internal PATA drive (I have 750MB Seagate...). Dimensions are less than a
hardcover book. Kurobox without harddrvie will set you back 150 USD.
I believe this is a perfect personal (family or some really tiny shop) server.
My next plans for my kurobox are slimserver (digital music streaming) and
eventually asterix (without fancy codecs of course).

Just to be on the safe side, No, I'm not affiliated with http://kurobox.com/,
I just love this product.
