I do not currently have a gnus package installed. This is all IIRC. BTW, why don't you download the gnus package once via FTP, then you don't have the overhead of repeatedly getting it off the network if you have to re-install. - vin >>>>> On 17 Jul 2000, Lloyd Zusman said: Lloyd> "Daniel Pittman" writes: >> On 17 Jul 2000, Lloyd Zusman wrote: >> >> [...] >> >> > Is it still true that I need to have the XEmacs gnus package >> > (currently it's called "gnus-1.45") installed in order for the CVS >> > gnus to work?
