<sect3><title>Configuration Information</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first time <command>slrn</command> is run, the
|
|
<filename>~/.jnewsrc</filename> file must be
|
|
created. For this configuration to work, you must have an environmental
|
|
variable, <envar>NNTPSERVER</envar>, set. In normal operation it would be
|
|
exported into the environment by a startup file, like
|
|
<filename>/etc/profile</filename> or <filename>~/.bashrc</filename>. Here it
|
|
is just put it into the environment of the configuration step. For now, the
|
|
<acronym>LFS</acronym> news server is used in this example, but you should use
|
|
whatever server you prefer.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Create the <filename>~/.jnewsrc</filename> file with the following
|
|
command:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>NNTPSERVER=<replaceable>news.linuxfromscratch.org</replaceable> \
|
|
slrn -f ~/.jnewsrc --create</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>You will also have to edit one of the configuration files. There
|
|
is a sample startup <filename>/usr/share/doc/slrn/slrn.rc</filename>
|
|
file that comes with slrn. It is extensively documented but if you
|
|
need more information, look at
|
|
<ulink url="http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/">the
|
|
<application>slrn</application> website</ulink>.</para>
