Acording to the handbook I should ftp to ftp.freebsd.org and look in /pub/FreeBSD/ports. Problem 1 no such directory. I *assumed* that the correct direcotry would be /pub/FreeBSD/prots-2.1.5. I am runing 2.1.5. Problem 2 when I got new/nn-current and did a make install it failed on badk checksums for the received file. Reverted back to just news/nn. got the skeleton fine, make ftp;s the sources fine and said it did a good build an install. I put the nntp serrvers name in /usr/local/lib/news/nntp_server as news@awod.com. I think this format is correct. Now when I type nn it core dumps. What am I doing wromg?
