Hi All,

Newbie alter to *nix. 

I'm trying to go from 2.0.9 to more recent versions.

I get the file mailman-2.0.9-2.0.10-diff.txt
I then changed its name to drop the .txt for no reason.

I put it into my:
  /usr/local/mailman/

At TELNET:

% patch -p0 <mailman-2.0.9-2.0.10-diff
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
