Re: Applying patches from a patch set

["Mark Ryden" <markryde@gmail.com>]

Hello,
  Thanks a lot for your answer ! I was not aware of the option using a
newsreader like slrn to access the list via gmane.

The list I want to work with **does** have a gmane interface.
It is :
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general

However, after I tried:
setenv NNTPSERVER gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general
and
slrn -f /root/.jnewsrc --create
I got:
slrn 0.9.8.1pl2 [2005-02-17]

Reading startup file /etc/slrn.rc.
Using newsrc file /root/.jnewsrc for server gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general.
Connecting to host gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general ...
Failed to resolve gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general

Run-Time Error
slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.


I assume that this is some silly mistake I had done,.Any ideas?

Rgs,
Mark
