To use news.uni-stuttgart.de as your news server you could
simply do

export NNTPSERVER=3Dnews.uni-stuttgart.de

and connect to your ISP. Then launch rtin. If you want to use
Pine choose Setup/Config in its main menu and change nntp-server
to news.uni-stuttgart.de.

The disadvantage here is that you have to be online to read news
(I wouldn't do this in Germany, it's just waste of money). If
you want to read news offline you'll have to set up a local news server.
IMHO Leafnode is quite easy to install (it has the requested
step by step list). You can get it at
<A HREF=3D"ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/news/readers/leafnode-1.4-7=
.src.elf.tar.gz"><A HREF=3D"ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/news/reade=
rs/leafnode-1.4-7.src.elf.tar.gz</A">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/n=
ews/readers/leafnode-1.4-7.src.elf.tar.gz</A</A>>

Ciao
Stefan
