First things first:

	Do not normally run your Linux logged in as 'root'.

If you don't understand why, or don't care, I suggest you install DOS or

Then, use 'adduser' to create an account 'maddo005'. Use that.

What's the point? If you want to read news offline, you have to set up a
newsserver for that. There are various alternatives.
