Question:
How can one read news offline?
Solution:
As long as someone does not get from a news server a right news
feed, one can use the programme suck
.
There is a configuration file in it, in which one can enter the desired
news groups, and the programme behaves then like a news client, that
simply reads all news articles. One can declare this simply locally to a
news system, that just does not get any "official" news feed.
Therefore, the condition for this is that you have to set a
news server on your own locally.
