<para>The first time <command>slrn</command> is run, the
<filename>$HOME/.jnewsrc</filename> file must be
created. For this configuration to work, you must have an environmental
variable, NNTPSERVER, set. In normal operation it would be exported into
the environment by a startup file, like <filename>/etc/profile</filename>
or <filename>~/.bashrc</filename>. Here we will just put it into the
environment of the configuration step. We will use the
<acronym>LFS</acronym> news server in this example, but you should use
whatever server you prefer.</para>
<para>Create the <filename>$HOME/.jnewsrc</filename> file with the following
command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>NNTPSERVER=news.linuxfromscratch.org \
slrn -f $HOME/.jnewsrc --create</command></userinput></screen>
