- There is another item to help speed up startup !
-
- Take a look at the following exerpt from my tinrc file:
-
- ...
- # if ON show group description text after newsgroup name at
- # group selection level
- show_description=OFF
- ...
-
- If you set this option to ON, then tin has to read in the newsgroups file
- from the news server in order to get the news description. And this may
- take a while...
-
- So I suggest to set this option to OFF, since most of you will probably
- already know what the newsgroups are for ! ;-)
