You would think so, wouldn't you. I think maybe the ".cf" is a typo.

And it's a lot older than 9. It's been part of my RH install ritual
since Postfix first appeared, I think, 7.0?? That and getting rid of
ISDN and PPP were my main uses of the individual pkgs option.

Now it's:
su -
service sendmail stop
rpm -e sendmail
chkconfig -add postfix
reboot

And ISDN and PPP are still in there...

But as has been said, these are small points. Overall, an excellent job.
Thank you all very much, Fedora Group.
