How should one approach converting to mailman from listproc
characterized by about

	120 lists
	3K subscribers
	about 70 lists archived from 1995 (/home/listproc/httpd/html)

df gives

Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda2            1981000 1381172   497414     74%   /
/dev/sda1              15522    1134    13587      8%   /boot
/dev/sda7             497667  284071   187894     60%   /home/listproc
/dev/sda8             497667  266621   205344     56%   /home/listproc/httpd
/dev/sda9            4353573   97841  4030422      2%   /var/spool/news
/dev/sda10           1026067  214503   758552     22%   /extra

This is on a Red Hat Linux 5.1 box dedicated to listserv.

I dunno nut'n about listserv and just started experimenting with
mailman.

The directories in /extra are

	/ectra/listproc/archive		mbox files to Aug 7 99
	/ectra/listproc/archive/lists
		about 120 subdirectories for lists, some empty,
		some containing apparently monthly
		archive.yymmdd.gz files

The listproc seems to have been poorly maintained and typically poorly
operated by the list owners as well.

Help, suggestions, guidance, and what all will be greatly appreciated.
