[Mailman-Users] Installation Questions

[Bob Cohen]

Hi. I'm getting ready to install Mailman and have a few questions. The 
procedures outlined in the Installation Manual at list.org seem odd. 
Other software that I've installed from source usually does things like 
creating the necessary user, setting permissions, creating the 
installation directory.  Also, the documentation says not to install 
Mailman as root.  Am I following this right? Or am I missing something?
