You must have done something really stupid and obvious, I would not rule that out.
After system install, I saw that system message and immediately ran `mail` based on its suggestion. I don't recall an error message - it was more like it exited immediately or had no effect. > and if we knew the message, we could possibly help you... Yeah, I should have taken a screen capture. I don't use the mail program too often (its been years since I've had to), so it was not a priority.
