Uhhh, the 'x' argument means extract. You want 'c' for create.

Re: [newbie] burning ISO CDs
Depends on which software package you are using.

Re: [newbie] sendmail question
To enable POP3, install the IMAP package on the Madrake install CD using rpmdrake. After installing, try telneting into your box on port 110. i.e. telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110 You should see a message like: '+OK POP3 machinename Vx.x server ready'. If you don't see that, make sure the line for POP3 is uncommented in your inetd.conf file in your /etc directory. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 10:22 AM Subject: [newbie] sendmail question > Does sendmail support POP3. I have sendmail installed on my box at home, supporting a small local network and am trying to use windows 9X and 2000 to retrieve my mail threw outlook express. I also have a unit outside the network that I wish to get my email from at work. I wish to configure it to use the POP3 protical. I am having no luck at all finding any reference to POP at all (only SMTP). Any help would be great. > > > Regards > > > Mike Freeman > > > > > > Embrace the Penguin.
