- Could you give us (me) a little explanation of how you installed
- nn? I've got it part way there, but it start's with all groups
- unsubscribed. I've had to resubscribe to all the groups, and
- still have to run nn -g to get in, then tell it what group to
- start reading. Is this normal. I figured out that you had to run
- nnadmin EYW to start the nn database. It took about 2 hours, as
- I already had a news system up under hermes. Also, it seems to
- put 2 '/''s in some of the file names when it looks for anything
- in the $USR tree. I had $USR set to g:, which works fine under
- Hermes, but nn seems to hate it. I could move everything into a
- /usr folder, but would prefer not to. Also, if I try to reply or
- followup, it just returns without loading the editor. All I did
- was change the default editor to vi from me, as using ted to
- launch Tempus, like in Gus, didn't work. The version I have is
- nn13, and all it has for installation instructions is a brief
- readme which mainly describes changes from previous versions.
-
- If anyone has the original installation docs, I'd appreciate
- having them mailed to me.
