Do you mean the paragraph (I could not find another references):

: Now, the "bad news" - really more of a slight inconvenience during the

: you install it. Most of the default choices should be sensible. There

I took this to mean that I had to check things like host name, etc. not
such unobvious things as the expiry times on the 65 groups that I have
in my newsbase.

It is the TTFN list, but Newsbase must be doing something odd, as
these groups never re-appeared under 0.53.
