Bug Description

There is what seems to be an error in the INSTALL
document, the section that starts on line 327, about
starting mailman automatically on reboot:

around line 348, the document states:

"For Unixes that don't support chkconfig, simply copy
misc/mailman as above, then set up the following
symbolic links, again as root:

    % cp misc/mailman /etc/init.d
    % cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
    .....
"

The following is in error:

- there is no misc/ directory in the installa location
- if there where, following the instructions would
undo the copying of scripts/mailman to /etc/init.d
- the wording is somewhat ambiguous and may lead to
misunderstanding.

I propose the following change to the documentation:

"For Unixes that don't support chkconfig, simply copy
scripts/mailman as above:

    % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman

then set up the following symbolic links, again as
root:

    % cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
    .....
"
