I wonder if anyone can help. I`ve been trying for days now to set up INN to read news. So far I`ve been able to collect some messages from my isps` server (news.dial.pipex.com) with nntpget which seems to have been put in /var/spool/news/articles/cam/misc (the newsgroup is cam.misc). I assume this is correct but I`ve no idea how to point gnus in the right direction to read this file let alone post messages. I seem to have the wrong idea about the "select-method", I`ve tried several different combinations of nnspool/nntp and localhost/"var/spool/news" etc. but nothing seems to work. "Directory not found" seems to be the common message. I can read my active file which contains all the cam newsgroups. If it helps here is my home-made .gnus file:
(setq nnspool-active-file "/var/lib/news/active") (setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool "localhost")) (setq nnspool-spool-directory "/var/spool/news/") Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, the documentation on these programs is great on detail but the poorest I`ve seen yet for a clear overview.
