[Mailman-Developers] installation instruction suggestions

[John Block]

Hello Barry

> Please let me know if you find any errors in the docs.  

The odd line needs putting in to help the less able

Set Ftp to Binary 

tar zxvf mailman-xxxx.tgz

(I had to get the zxvf from support)

Under configure options, it is not clear what to do.

Is it tap in the command 

configure --option1 --option2

or is it edit the configure file, changing the lines...

If it is edit the configure file, then putting these variable apart in an
editable section and giving commented out examples would help.

Thanks,

John
