I am trying to run Usenet News on > FreeBSD. Thanks in advance. Are you familiar with the FreeBSD ports collection? If not, take a look at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports and the news/inn subdirectory in particular. If you are WWW enabled, also look at http://www.freebsd.org/How/handbook/ports.html If you have the 2.0.5 CDROM, you already have INN with all changes necessary to compile and run on FreeBSD. -john === jfieber@cs.smith.edu ========== Come up and be a kite! --K.
