Ah, ok.. that's interesting to hear. > If you just want to read news, rather than run a local spool, you > don't want INN or C-News but just a newsreader such as trn and a copy > of inews.

I need something for a local spool, we're running a low-traffic news system over packet radio here.. INN is too much for this, with only < 100k/day. I just `debianized' my old system and thought it would be nice to have a debianized news system.. Last night I compiled the latest cnews release, and it seems to work. Btw, what is the right place for local installations? I used /etc/news for configfiles and /usr/local/somewhere for the binaries. Is /usr/local/etc/news better? Maybe I should better read fsstnd than asking such dumb questions here :-) Anyway, thanks for your replies! Olaf -- --------------------------------------------------------------- !
