Before we get started, you need to get a few programs installed, 'wget' is quite useful, so lets get that from the ports first: mkdir -p /downloads cd /downloads In some parts I might make references to programs in the ports collection, so you should get the ports collection now ftp ftp://www.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.6/ports.tar.gz cd /usr tar zxvf /downloads/ports.tar.gz This will take quite a while to uncompress on a slow hard drive, it has many files to create in many directories which is hard work for any disk file system (some time on my hardware). While thats running you can copy this into the copy/paste buffer: pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.7/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2.tgz pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.7/packages/i386/unzip-5.52.tgz pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.7/packages/i386/bzip2-1.0.3.tgz (Feel free to get packages from ports if you wish, in some cases it can be better to use ports, but for now, we're going to use packages). Lets get and unzip the qmailrocks package now cd /downloads wget http://www.qmailrocks.org/downloads/qmailrocks.tar.gz tar zxvf qmailrocks.tar.gz (26,054,131 bytes) Lets move onto the next stage and install DJB's qmail.
