The first time slrn is run, the
$HOME/.jnewsrc file must be
-created. Create the $HOME/.jnewsrc file with the following
+created. For this configuration to work, you must have an environmental
+variable, NNTPSERVER, set. In normal operation it would be exported into
+the environment by a startup file, like /etc/profile
+or ~/.bashrc. Here we will just put it into the
+environment of the configuration step. We will use the
+LFS news server in this example, but you should use
+whatever server you prefer.

+Create the $HOME/.jnewsrc file with the following
command:
-slrn -f $HOME/.jnewsrc --create
