Me Again,
The good news is that it's working. :) There must be some incompatibility with 6.2-RELEASE as on a whim, I tried 5.5, and it worked first time. So you guys are owed a beer, if you get to Paris! Our setup looks like this ...
> df -h

We had some problems whilst configuring the kernel, but after going back to GENERIC and changing only the name ('RASHI'), and the 'cpu' lines, and adding QUOTA, everything worked.
> uname -a

I've got a working install of sendmail on the machine now, and postgreSQL and apache are also reporting for duty.
Now we just need forums and webmail. The latter will be http://www.phpbb.com/ but for webmail, we're having difficulty finding a free solution. ismail won't install from the ports, and other than that, everything I've found looks to be in the region of 250 $US. As I believe I've mentioned, the organisation is a school, and that sort of money just isn't in the kitty. So my options are to write it in perl myself... oh G-d, we want it to be working before Passover 2010! Or we find an open source version.
So once again, I throw myself at your feet....
Thanks.
D.
