01.07 How can I make life simpler when starting nn for the first time?
Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1993 00:00:00 -0800 Use nnsub and eep. See the enclosed documentation to see which you prefer. [note: only available in 6.5.0 beta]. From: Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com> Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 00:00:00 -0800 The standard method is to run: nngrep -a | sed -e 's/ *$/!/' > .newsrc # add \ before ! in csh and then edit .newsrc, replacing the '!' with a ':' for those groups you're interested in. From: Joerg Napp <napp@uni-paderborn.de> Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1991 21:56:45 -0700 I think a nice way is to use the catch-up facility. Start nn -a0 and let nn catch up automatically. After some hours restart nn and unsubscribe to uninteresting groups having news articles. Restart nn the following day and continue unsubscribing. After one week, you have a nice .newsrc.
