I. Install Red Hat 9
Step 1: Download the ISO Images and burn them onto CD if you don’t already have them available to you. You will only need the first 3 CDs. (The Binary CDs, with i386 in their names) You can download the CDs from: http://www.redhat.com/download/products.html
Step 2: Install Redhat 9
a. Boot from the RedHat 9 Disk 1 CD
b. Click next through the first 3 screens, and choose that you want to perform a Custom Install
c. Choose Automatically Partition on your HD. Then make sure that it will partition to your liking. The defaults should be great!
d. Continue on and when you get to Network Configuration, make sure you set your Static IP in here as well as your Hostname.
e. On Firewall Configuration, choose ‘No firewall’ We will configure one later.
You don’t HAVE to follow the next step. What I like is to go through and ONLY install the things I know I will need. After I do this, I then usually use icewm for my GUI, as it is REALLY small and fast and clean. Again, this is your install and you can do what you would like, but below is what I install. The install below will take 1.1 GB of HD space. Regardless of what you install below the checkdeps.sh script should find and install all needed dependencies for qmailtoaster.
Just make sure you install the Development tools. This will have the GCC Compiler and other needed things to compile the toaster.
