130 | <para>The first time <command>slrn</command> is run, the

131 | <filename>~/.jnewsrc</filename> file must be created. For this configuration
|
---|
132 | to work, you must have an environmental variable, <envar>NNTPSERVER</envar>,
|
---|
133 | set. In normal operation it would be exported into the environment by a startup file,
|
---|
134 | like <filename>/etc/profile</filename> or <filename>~/.bashrc</filename>. Here it
|
---|
135 | is just put it into the environment of the configuration step. For now, the LFS news
|

136 | server is used in this example, but you should use whatever server you prefer.</para>
