List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:25:08 -0000 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
