Moved the bulk of installation instructions, along with mail server and
operating system specific notes into a new latex manual. This process isn't complete, but I'm tired and want to get this stuff into CVS asap. This should provide much better documentation organization for Mailman 2.1.6 and for the list.org web site.

-GNU/LINUX ISSUES
-
- GNU/Linux seems to be the most popular platform on which to run
- Mailman. Here are some hints on getting Mailman to run on Linux:
-
- If you are getting errors with hard link creations and/or you are using
- a special secure kernel (securelinux/openwall/grsecurity), see
- contrib/README.check_perms_grsecurity.
-
- Note that if you are using Linux Mandrake in secure mode, you are probably
- concerned by this.
-
- Apparently Mandrake 9.0 changed the permissions on gcc, so if you
- build as the mailman user, you need to be sure mailman is in the
- cctools group.
-

-PYTHON PACKAGES
-
- Note that if you installed Python from your Linux distribution's
- package manager (e.g. .rpms for Redhat-derived systems or .deb for
- Debian), you must install the `development' package of Python, or
- you may not get everything you need.
-
- For example, using Python 2.2 on Debian, you will need to install
- the python2.2-dev package. On Redhat, you probably need the
- python2-devel package.
-
- If you install Python from source, you should be fine.
-
- One symptom of this problem, although for unknown reasons, is that
- you might get an error such as this during your install:
-
- Traceback (most recent call last):
- File "bin/update", line 44, in ?
- import paths
- ImportError: No module named paths
- make: *** [update] Error 1
-
- If this happens, install the Python development package and try
- "configure ; make install" again.
-
- This problem can manifest itself in other Linux distributions in
- different ways, although usually it appears as ImportErrors.
