[news.software.b] Installing "rn" for the First Time

richr@etl.ARPA (Rich Rosenthal) (02/11/88)

I have just installed the standard news software (everything
working smoothly) and I am now trying to bring up "rn".  I
copied all of "rn" from simtel20.arpa and after unpacking
everything I started applying patches (using "patch").  Everything
went O.K. until I tried to apply patch rn43.fix29.  The patch
would not apply correctly.

Question:  Is this a common occurance?

If not I don't know where to begin to find my problem.

Question:  Is "rn" available via FTP with all patches applied.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
