I got mysql server to compile by copying=20 /etc/defaults/make.conf to /etc/make.conf and adding the line=20 SKIP_INSTALL_DB=3Dyes to the last line. Now, I thought I'd try the same thing with Mailman by adding CGI_GID?=3D = 65533=20 to my /etc/make.conf. However, before I do, I'd like to know if this mig= ht=20 adversely affect other programs. =20 Thanks, Darren On Friday 26 July 2002 12:26 pm, Bauer wrote: > Hi, > > On Fri, 26 Jul 2002 08:33:10 -0500 > > Darren Crotchett wrote: > > Quick background: > > I'm trying to transition from complete newbie to newbie-admin.
