Subject: tin newsreader on debian lenny
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:25:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081214232523.GA2440@debian.Belkin> (raw)
I am looking for some help with newsgroup reading.
I have installed tin but am having problems with the setup.
I want to connect to my isp's newsserver and download newsgroup
articles.
Not sure if I will need something like leafnode or whether tin can
connect directly.
At present, I cannot find where I should be putting the server
information
If I run tin, I get an error message that newsrc cannot be written.
I have not been able to find a debian news howto so some advice or
reading suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
