I've just released QMT-ISO-1.2.1, which is a minor bug fix from 1.2. Those users who used the advanced installation previously were not getting bind installed (sorry Jack and Helmut), which has been corrected. I'll try and release a 1.3 version this month which will include a few new features and all the updates to bring it up to Cent 4.5
Thanks.
Jake below are some few suggestions for qmt-iso
- ask hostname for server (bcoz qmt-iso set the default hostname = localhost, I get blocked by cbl.abuseat.org)

Wish I could do this - I'm limited by what the kickstart schema allows me to do; I could remind users to set it upon first boot I guess.
- deepofix installation faster than qmt-iso.
I am suspect they are using qmail in binary format in their distribution
isn't it violate DJB license if the qmail already altered by patch ?
file deepofix-qmail-ldap-1.03-20060201-14-i386.deb was found under /deepofix/deepofix-packages on their iso
Yep, they violate the license. It's a Debian based install, and they're installing their own patched binaries. Bernstein only allows unmodified source code to be distributed so that you know you're getting his bug-free (but featureless as well) code. QMT adds some patches to the source during the RPM rebuild, thus satisfying the license he has set forth.

- any planning to release qmt-iso for x86_64 ?
Nope. I only use x86 machines myself. Since I wrote this mainly for myself, I'm only going to release what works for me. Sorry. If someone wants to hire my company to produce a x86_64 ISO, then it will be up to them if they want to release the finished ISO or not.

- do you have release schedule plan??
I am suggest
if there are many / major upgrade on qmailtoaster / centos, the new version 1-2 months after previous release. if there is only little / minor update on qmailtoaster, the new version release 3-4 months after previous release.
Release plan is as follow: when I get to it <grin>. I do this in my spare time - I have a consulting business that keeps me very busy, and a child on the way (just found out it's going to be a boy yesterday!!!!). As such, my clients come first. After the baby is born, don't be too surprised if I don't release any more updates.

- qmail-queue still linked to qmail-dk
- register qmt-iso project at centos.org
http://www.centos.org/modules/news/index.php?storytopic=11
- domain qmtiso.com is up I am waiting for the website
- and mhonarc, yes I am asked it. I will write the tutorial later.
The qmail-queue linking is supposed to be fixed in the next release of Toaster. Since there is a wait on this, I do plan on fixing it in the updated release for the Cent 4.5 packages. There's also a couple other minor things that I will add in, such as the option to install the fetchmail patch and install Webmin. Nothing too major though. I will look into registering the project with CentOS. I don't make it to their site too often, so didn't even realize they had a spot for branches like this. Thanks for that. And yeah, while I did put up qmtiso.com, I haven't had time to work on the website yet. I'm hoping to make it look like the www.qmailtoaster.com and devel.qmailtoaster.com sites, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming! It's nice to know what others think (or think is wrong), and get ideas for future releases. Ultimately the ISO is just an install for CentOS that downloads the Toaster packages and installs them for you. I had never originally even thought of adding additional things like MHonArc or anything else. That's all driven by the user's suggestions and comments.
