I also have been working on installing.  My installation isn't complete
so Ralph's comments here are valuable.  I'll highlight some issues I ran
up against.

} What group id should be used for news files [news]? mail
I created a group called news and made news a member of it

} [...]
} Do you want to use our fast stdio library [yes]? no

I tried saying yes to this and the tests that consequently ran to check
it out failed, so you can't use the fast stdio supplied with cnews.

} [...]
} Which one is most appropriate [hdb]? null
I left it at hdb.  Why null?

Thanks for the good input, Ralph.  I'll make a further report when
'tulsix' is up and running.
