I guess the questions you are talking about are "Old newsticker groups (%s) file exists. Read it? " where '%s' is something like "~/.newsticker-groups" and "Delete old newsticker groups file? " In that case you probably also see a warning about the obsolete variable `newsticker-groups-filename'. The problem here is that there still exists a groups file at the location specified by that obsolete variable. Newsticker is offering to move its contents to the new location. Admittedly, this is not clear from the questions above. I shall change the wording. If you do not want to wait until I have finished that, you may just answer 'yes' to the second question (about deleting the old groups file) and you're done. Ulf
