What a load of crock. You don't need a dedicated connection, nor do you
need 20-40 GIG to set up a spool. Sure if you are setting up a full feed you
need the specs but like most of us how run our own spool for private lans, a
dialup connection with a 2 gig news spool partition is A OK!
As for FAQS, I found Normans install guide to be of great assistance (part
4/4 of the INND FAQ).
Have a look at

Hmm..have you got 30 or 40 GIGS of drivespace to play around with, as
well as a dedicated connection? Chances are if you want to carry the
majority of the newsgroups out there and store 'em for any length of
time (more than 24-36 hours) you'll need a MINIMUM of 20-40 GIGS of
drive space.
