- when I kicked the USENET stuff to Peter for inclusion in SLS0.98-5, I
- included all the man pages for allthe pieces, but I didn't include the
- docs that are required to install the software, which is what you're
- probably looking for.
-
- If you can drop about $25.00, the O'Reilly+Asociates book "managing
- uucp and USENET" is that best one I've found. You can also read the
- news.admin and news.software hierarchies since you apparently have other
- access to USENET.

- [..Peter, if you're reading...is there a way to come up with a set of
- extremely optional disks for SLS where we could provide this
- kind of information ???..]
