well, apt-get install leafnode
dpkg will ask you all the relevant questions, and set it up nicely.
/usr/sbin/fetchnews is usually run from /etc/init.d/ip-up or every
morning with the cron.daily, depending on how it's set up.
If you're not using debian, YMWV ;)
Look in /etc/news/leafnode/config, for the server option, and run
su news -c /usr/sbin/fetchnews to manually fetch newsgroups. Read the
REAME, it'll tell you how to add groups to leafnode's fetch list.
