[Alpine News Configuration]
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start alpine
|
||||
|
||||
$alpine
|
||||
|
||||
2. Press "S" to get to the Setup menu
|
||||
|
||||
3. Press "C" to get to the Configuration screen
|
||||
|
||||
4. For NNTP server, Change the value to localhost
|
||||
|
||||
5. Exit Setup and save your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Now, from the main screen in alpine, Press "L" to go to your
|
||||
folder list. You should see a new folder list called "News on
|
||||
localhost/nntp". Select this collection and Press > or Enter to
|
||||
view it.
|
||||
|
||||
7. At first it will be empty. Press "A" to add groups.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Alpine will ask you to enter a newsgroup name. You can enter "*"
|
||||
to see all the groups.
|
||||
|
||||
9. From here you can select a group to add, or Press "L" to enter
|
||||
List Mode which lets you select multiple groups. The pink.general
|
||||
group is a good place to start. This is an internal group that is
|
||||
not shared with the rest of the tildeverse. The group tilde.pink is
|
||||
our public share.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Press "S" to subscribe to the selected group(s).
|
||||
|
||||
11. Now you should be back in your folder list and your subscribed
|
||||
groups will be visible. To see the news in a group, select the
|
||||
group and press > or Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
12. From here you can read articles, reply to articles, or post a
|
||||
new article. Consider reading these guidelines:

It's fairly easy to configure slrn. Enter the following line from
|
||||
tthe comand line:
|
||||
|
||||
slrn -f /home/test/.jnewsrc --create
|
||||
|
||||
After this initial command, you will only need to type 'slrn" to
|
||||
tto start it. You'll be presented with a list of news groups with
|
||||
new messages when you first run the program. All old messages you
|
||||
have viewed will be marked for deletion after you ahve viewed them.
|
||||
You can view the messages by highlighting the newsgroup you want to
|
||||
view and pressing enter. The process is the same for viewing
|
||||
messages. If you want to return to the main list of newsgroups,
|
||||
type 'q'. 'q' frm the main list will exit the program.
|
||||
|
||||
More information can be found on the slrn documentation webpage.

[Usenet/News Services]
|
||||
|
||||
Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion system available on
|
||||
computers. Users read and post messages (called articles or posts,
|
||||
and collectively termed news) to one or more categories, known as
|
||||
newsgroups. (Thanks Wikipedia)
|
||||
|
||||
The tildeverse hosts its own network of usenet servers linked
|
||||
together across different tildes. We are hosting our own node here
|
||||
on tilde.pink. To access tilde news, you need to use a news
|
||||
reader. We have three different options to use. They are slrn,
|
||||
alpine, and tin. You may already be using alpine for reading mail.
