So is this new to pgnus, I know I didn't have to do that under 5.6.45,
or is it because it's still pre-release?  It seems like a real
difficult way to get a group that doesn't really do anything.  A user
that is new to Gnus isn't going to figure this out, and while I took a
hiatus from Gnus I used gnus for several years and don't recall having
to do anything this intensive to get a new group.  I'm really not
trying to be difficult on this, but it does seem more difficult than
it should.
