[expert] Upgrading MDK7.2 to MDK8.0 with qmail installed

[Paulo Araujo]

I'm using qmail for my mail server on Mandrake 7.2, but I would like to upgrade to MDK8.   I've been reading the messages under the mailinglists newbie and expert and I find that it's probably advisable to do a fresh install rather then upgrading?!   Installing qmail is not a task for a sunday afternoon!!! I took almost a week to make it work... so I would like to avoid reeinstalling it!   As I find qmail more secure and faster (and other things...) then sendmail or postfix, wouldn't Mandrakesoft include it in their distributions?   So, should I try and upgrade... and what about "svscan" and "tcpserver" ?   Opinions welcomed...
