That's not really platform-dependant. Mailman itself is pure Python, so should run anywhere that Python does. These kinds of things are installation-dependant, and if you were to install Mailman in a different location on exactly the same platform, then these things would be different -- or at least in different places. The "standard" locations for things in the typical Mailman world (i.e., as downloaded directly from our sources) are usually somewhat different from where things get put if you use a version that has been pre-packaged by someone else. However, since these locations involve things in the code that can be buried pretty deep, if you want to move a Mailman installation from one platform to another, I would recommend that you completely re-install Mailman from the appropriate sources on the new box, then copy over just the configuration files and archives for the lists. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
