| I'm sitting at one computer, Vehicle, being routed through another, Thunderbird - for those who are just tuning in, I've just recently installed Slack 9.1, and due to a very lucky few months or so, I have quite the setup: http://home.earthlink.net/~entheos_e...ntheos_LAN.gif and just now went to http://www.tldp.org , and in a couple of mouse clicks, was at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Masqueradi...WTO/index.html , within three pages and four minutes, I'm up! I'm agog. I knew it was going to be something simple that I just hadn't read yet, but _this simple_? Of course, I have no idea yet just exactly what's going on internally - I just copied Mr. Tapsell's, Mr. Spellman's, and Mr. Grimm's example character-for-character, and BOOM! Here I am! Well, at least now I know _what_ to read to learn what I'm actually doing, but this is so cool I'm having a conceptual orgasm. Thank you all for your support. :-) RTFM ROCKS! Cheers! Rich (BTW, I'm posting by google since I haven't even started to figure out how to operate any of my linux newsreaders. I tried rtin, and got all the way to "post," but it kept rejecting it. Kinda frustrating, because the error message disappeared before I had a chance to read it - something about an invalid header. But I'll get there! Wheeee! R |

Slack 9.1 now includes the favorite Slacker newsreader, slrn. It's easy, efficient, and powerful. You can find all kinds of stuff about slrn on the web and the slrn man page. The quick and dirty of it is, copy the /etc/slrn.rc file to your /home/user dir as .slrnrc and customize it to your preferences. Preference and options of this file are pretty intuitive, so just dive in. nb |
