Whatever I did wrong in my installation will forever remain a mystery, because my brother came over to help me and he successfully installed libranet 3.0. The only thing I can say is that I made some wrong choices, but Mel made all the right choices and libranet 3.0 is up and running. I am sending this message from Thunderbird mail client in libranet 3.0 debian distribution. It is still a learning curve to configure Thunderbird. I want to send all my messages as plain text with no HTML, but so far have not figured out how to do that. So please forgive me for the unwanted HTML untill I figure out how to deselect HTML.
