[Mailman-Users] PCLinuxOS Newbie

[Induction Services]

Hello everyone, I've searched the archives for a solution but came up 
against a wall.

PCLinuxOS has Mailman listed in its repository, but on installation it 
gives the error about en-US.  The archives here suggest that the 
solution is to config and make from scratch, as apparently wherever the 
binaries came from there is an issue with an errant entry in one of the 
files.

OK, so I went to the manual, and hit a wall trying to create the user.  
The instructions give exact characters to type in to useradd.  
Unfortunately, on opening a console, switching to su, and entering the 
command, I get, "cannot create directory /no/home".  I tried reading the 
man pages on useradd, and could find no explanation on why that is.

Sorry to be so clueless.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give 
me.  I very badly want to get away from running my little list off a 
Windows box.  I'm willing to put up with considerable pain to do it.  
(And I'd prefer not to go distro-hopping again if I can avoid it, unless 
there is a really good reason why I shouldn't use PCLinuxOS.)

Thanks,

--John--
