Sorry�, from what I know, rpm -e --force *.rpm don't work on a rh52
system.
Stephen has to uninstall the dependant things (+xmh) before
sendmail, at least this is how I do it. Then you should rebuild the
source *.rpm's you need like:
rpm -ivvh *.src.rpm
rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/*.spec
rpm -Uvvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*.rpm
Personally I don't use any of the mentioned softwares (exept
qmail:)), at the console I use "pine", that's all. But I may switch to
"mutt".
I hope this helps.
