I have done that and the installation still shows the 'hard error' message.

That's true and I can easily create a file control/me with my fqdn but 
the problem is I am not familiar at all with qmail and that script seems 
to put other into in control...

Anyways I guess I have no other choice but to setup the control/* files 
myself... any one care to give me a hand :)  The purpose of installing 
qmail (apart from the fun of learning) is to use ti as an SMTP gateway to 
a heavy duty mailing list (~200,000 messages/day).

Thank you.

Dave
