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
