Can you have a look at the Usenet tutorial that I have written. It isn't finsihed yet, but I would like feedback as to style and whether it is logical etc. http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/mynews.html I will try and put a newer version on later today at about 6pm UK time. Things I am in the process of writing at the moment: - the Building/Configuring Inn chapter is being updated to the latest port. - the Building/Configuring Suck chapter ditto. - all output from the examples will be re run on a clean machine so they are up to date. - putting files on my website where I say they should be! I wouldn't suggest that you actually try using it yet. Once those things are done the primer should stand alone okay and be ready for a link on the tutorials page so that people can get things up and running. Next things to do are: - expand and write the inn overvierw properly. - expand the suck overview. - work out how to and write about re installing - more what happens if it goes wrong stuff, (this will have to grow organically as people have problems!) the system with an existing new setup. - talk about cleverer things to do suck kill files news overview database linking crosspostings spam - others?
