HA!!! Figures that I'd get a reply after I did this the hard way... I set up a VMWare with gentoo. Tracked down an ancient mailman-2.0.13.tgz file on the web and installed it!!!!! Then used the /bin/list_members to get extract them and pasted them into the new 2.1 list... UGH! Ironic.
Thanks for the reply Mark. I'll keep this in mind if I still can't get the list working... I have a remaining issue that I'll post in a new thread. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 9:04 PM > To: Daevid Vincent; mailman-users@python.org > Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] How do I get my 2.0 members into > a new 2.1 Mailmaninstall > > Daevid Vincent wrote: > > >I recently upgraded from a RedHat 8 box to Gentoo.
