Surely you haven't read the documentation... To quote Jeremy Portzer: To find out information about an RPM's maker, etc., run "rpm -qip filename.rpm" . If you run that command on the Red Hat Linux mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, you'll see a bunch of EXTREMELY important setup notes -- things you must do after installing the RPM. Follow those instructions! Don't complain if you don't follow them and stuff doesn't work! *grin*
If that doesn't resolve your problems, then check out the FAQ entry: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp Take care - Jon Carnes On Mon, 2002-12-09 at 02:05, Edwin Humphries wrote: > G'day, > > I'm trying to install mailman to manage a couple of mailing lists.
