Hello Ruediger (& All), Well I found a .config that works (for me)
I copied the defaultconfig out of the arch directory & began with
that & battered it into definitions I wanted after that
I complied. The system booted & is at present happily spewing
mail for its intended audience (in house) . Thank You , for your
time & patience . JimL
