It should almost never matter.  The PnP support in the Linux kernel is
for handling ISA PnP devices... and most laptops don't have any of
these.  The 3.1 PCMCIA packages have optional PnP BIOS support, which
is somewhat different: this is a mechanism for talking to the BIOS to
get resource information about non-PnP devices.  Laptops generally
have lots of non-PnP devices, so this is often a useful capability;
however, PnP BIOS access causes trouble on some systems, so I don't
enable this by default.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
