I added a gnus-secondary-select-method for nnslashdot and mentioned in the documentation. I changed my gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method from gnus-subscribe-zombies to gnus-subscribe-topics. I created a 'slashdot' topic and set its parameter as described in the mail list. When I fetch mail/news nothing special happens unless I press "F" and then slashdot groups appear in the topic. Some questions: 1) Is what I described above the recommended way of incorporating nnslashdot? 2) How do I remove slashdot groups that I am not interested in reading? C-k? 3) Having changed my gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method, how are other new groups treated when they appear on my news server? using gnus-subscribe-zombies, I never did anything special to check for new newsgroups. I would just periodically press A-z to check for any zombies. What will be different now?
