I am running a debian-linux system and want to set up some mailman mailing lists. Should I (1) go ahead and start the lists using 1.1 and then upgrade when 2.0 becomes final, (2) install 2.0beta as a starting point, or (3) wait until 2.0 becomes final to start the lists? Is the upgrade expected to be relatively painless?

Hi all,
I am having this weird problem, and would appreciate any help. I got
the latest version of mailman and I am installing on test system, and I do the following ./configure --with-mail-gid=12 --with-cgi-gid=99 --prefix=/home/software/mailman make make install
at the end of make install I get that a bunch of errors likes this one for all the files in templates
/usr/bin/install: admindbpreamble.html: No such file or directory
and with these errors I decided to go the mailman url and got this error
Traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/software/mailman/scripts/driver", line 121, in print_traceback from Mailman.mm_cfg import VERSION ImportError: No module named mm_cfg
any help would be great.
Thanks
Nick

where you're installing the software? Or where the source driectory is? From the pathname, I'm guessing the latter.
--prefix should point to where the software is being installed.
If it's not, there's likely a permission problem of some sort, or the package is incomplete or didn't build properly.

You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.
