nnrss doesn't work at all for me.

[David Carlton]

I'm using Gnus 5.10.6 (as distributed with XEmacs, where I'm using the
Fedora Core 2 RPMs for the latter).  The manual distributed with
XEmacs doesn't mention rss, but googling for 'gnus rss' turns up
<http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_193.html>.  The manual on that web
page claims to be for Gnus 5.10.2; frankly, I'm dubious about that.
So:

* Should I expect to be able to use nnrss with 5.10.6?  (And what Gnus
  version is the online manual for?)

Anyways, optimistically following the instructions listed on that web
page, I type 'B', then nnrss, then enter
http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss.  It asks me if I want to download
extra categories.  If I answer 'n', I get an empty buffer.  If I
answer 'y', I get a buffer looking like this:

K      0: Business: general.CRM news
K      0: Business: general.Entrepreneur news
K      0: Business: general.Human resources news
K      0: Business: general.IP and patents news
K      0: Business: general.Job markets news
K      0: Business: general.Law news
...

Which isn't very useful.

Am I doing something wrong, does nnrss just not work with the version
of Gnus I'm using, or what?

Thanks,
