Thanks very much for providing the package. Really?? I had no idea! Maybe I can scrap my leafnode setup then and move to fdm? I think fdm (well I guess, I haven't actually checked) might be more minimal even than leafnode, so thank you for the pointer! I will definitely have to check out the fdm manual today! =) >>> I think I once packaged noffle (and not leafnode) for myself, but I >>> think I stopped using noffle for a news server, too.

Ahh got it.

Best of luck! =) Sounds like a nice project!
