My guess is that the mirror you happened to get was down. As a work around, try pinging mirror2.qmailtoaster.com, mirror3.qmailtoaster.com, etc until you find one responding (mirror1 will probably respond, but that's a slow connection). Then add the address/name using mirrors.qmailtoaster.com to your /etc/hosts file. This will force resolver to use one that you know is working.


well I pinged
mirror1.qmailtoaster.com    70.58.124.170
time=82ms

mirror2.qmailtoaster.com 69.144.11.118
time=96ms

I did not put anything in my host file .. i thought I would just try it again
and I am wondering if  - it worked ok

here is what i got

[root@strainer qmt_install_eff]# sh qt-bootstrap-2

qt-bootstrap-2 - completed

I have 3 questions

Q1
did the above work ok ?
I see : " package qmailtoaster-release-2.0-1.qt.nodist.noarch is already installed" but also : " Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: qmailtoaster-current "

am i therefore ready to do the 3rd step of
qt-install

Q2

since I am behind a nat'ing firewall I will need to change the
qt-setup-firewall script before running qt-install
well , where is the qt-setup-firewall ?
I thought the script would "show up" in the dir I ran sh qt-bootstrap-2
and what sort of change would one wish to make?
I thought I might figure it out by looking at the script -- but i do not find a qt-setup-firewall

Q3

after i get it installed
how do I prove that it is .... Ok?  running as desired ?
[ and then I make my domains and add users }


Thanks
