Thanks for replying Oleq,
Looks like the freebsd cd that comes with the qmail book is coming in handy
after all (probably the first time I ever use the cd that comes with a
book!).
I find it quite odd that freebsd 4.3's packages seem to be rearranged a
little. for example, Lynx is included in the package (and links is thrown
out). Of course, my qmail package has also disappeared, and they finally put
in uwimap! argh!
Do you know if freebsd 4.1 is a stable release? the one at www.linuxiso.org
is still calling it an 'alpha'...
