Before /var/spool it was /usr/spool. Previous versions of Cnews suggested using /var/spool/news but leave the programs compiled for /usr/spool/news, and fix it with a symbolic link. It does not really matter whether the news partition is mounted on /var or /var/spool because the other option could be covered by using a symbolic link. -- Adam David <adam@veda.is>
