From d5d2d51aa6e207a723ba774b0dc26c9c27848c9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bwarsaw <> Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 06:08:39 +0000 Subject: 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. --- README | 54 ------------------------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 54 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 287a0dfd..b2758703 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -114,60 +114,6 @@ REQUIREMENTS fancy plugins. -CREATE YOUR FIRST LIST - - These instructions assume that you've installed and configured Mailman - according to the instructions in the INSTALL file.
