C News - where is it ?

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

C News is described in the manual; however when using YaST to find the package (in the series "n"), it appears not to be available.

Cause:

In the future, SuSE Linux will stop using C News in favor of other news systems. The shadow of events to come...

Solution:

C News is still delivered with SuSE Linux. The RPM can be found in the .../unsorted/cnews directory. If you want to use C News, you have to mount the CDROM under /cdrom and issue the following commands:

rpm -U /cdrom/unsorted/cnews/cnews-1.G-19.i386.rpm
rpm -U /cdrom/unsorted/cnews/nntpd-1.5.12.1-19.i386.rpm
Alternatively, you have the opportunity to use the packages leafnode or INN which are located in the series "n". The installation of leafnode is recommended if you do not have a permanent connection to the internet (see the README in the /usr/doc/packages/leafnode/ directory). INN is designed for server systems.
