>Well Marius,
Thanks for the feedback and most for fixing my
rootmail issue. I found about ten items in mutt today;
some interesting such as:
Nov 21 16:03:24 ubuntu ypbind[5349]: broadcast: RPC:
Timed out(many entries)
Need to google to find out what it means.
Regret losing the install messages as there were many
messages telling me what services I had to restart to
activate the services/programs.  Either rebooting will
fix it or I'll slowly discover what's not working. 
Other than that mutt and root mail is working great;
really appreciate your help.  Thanks a lot,
