Hi, I am a complete neophite with INN and news administration in general. I had uunet start a NNTP feed about 24 hours ago. This was supposed to be a partial feed of about 6000 groups (compared to around 16,000 groups in the active file I got from uunet). As of now I am VERY close to filling up the 1.2 gig drive I have mounted at /var/news. Does this sound right? I was under the impression that a FULL news feed was around a gig a day... Please respond via email as the drive will probably be full by the time you reply. Thanks, Chuck Rose
