At this point you can step away from the computer for a little while and have a quick snack while INN compiles. On a decently fast system it should only take five or ten minutes at the most to build.

Once the build has completed successfully, you are ready to install INN into its final home. Type:

All of INN's configuration files are located in the ~news/etc directory. Unless noted otherwise, any files referred to below are in this directory.

Before we begin, it is worth mentioning the wildmat pattern matching syntax used in many configuration files. These are simple wildcard matches using the asterisk ("*") as the wildcard character, much like the simple wildcard expansion used by Unix shells (but unlike Unix shells, you cannot do full regular expressions; only the asterisk is supported).

There are two ways to create your cycbuffs:

Now, you need to tell INN how to group your cycbuffs into metacycbuffs. This is similar to creating cycbuff entries:

$B$5$F

        methodname:newsgroup pattern:storage class #:minsize:maxsize:options
        method  {
            newsgroups: 
            class: 
            size: [,]
            expires: [,]
            options: 

• an IP address, e.g. 192.168.0.1
• an address range, e.g. 192.168.0.0/24
• a hostname, e.g. userbox.example.com
• a wildmat pattern that the hostname must match, e.g. *.example.com

• 192.168.0.1 $B$N$h$&$J(B IP address
• 192.168.0.0/24 $B$N$h$&$J(B IP address $B$NHO0O(B
• userbox.example.com $B$N$h$&$J5!3#$NL>A0(B
• $B5!3#L>$K$D$$$F(B *.example.com $B$N$h$&$J(B wildmat $B7A<0$G$N;XDj(B

        dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/buffer bs=1k count=BUFFERSIZE
        chmod 0664 /path/to/buffer

Once you have created all of your cycbuffs, you are ready to continue with the next step of the installation.

To begin you'll need current active and newsgroups files. These may be downloaded from the following location:

Next you need to create an empty history database. This can be accomplished by running the following command:

The parameters passed to news.daily in the above example are the most common (and usually the most efficient) ones to use. More information on what these parameters do can be found in the news.daily man page.
