That misses the issue again.
When I create a new NNML group, I type:
G M
random.group <RET>
nnml <RET>
When I created this NNFOLDER group, I typed:
G M
random.group <RET>
nnfolder <RET>
And nnfolder put it in the same directory space as the nnml groups,
and they both started duking it out.
It *doesn't* work out of the box. Or if that's not the way I should
have used it, it *wasn't* red flagged as "you can't use THIS until
you set THAT and THAT OTHER THING".
I'm not an idiot. But I broke things by trying to follow directions.
If you say the directions are in there, please point to them.
