+Leech News and its associated modules allow you to aggregate news from other sites and import them as Drupal nodes on your own site.
+
+Leech News basically does the same thing as aggregator2 but does it differently (to allow for greater flexibility and cooperation with other modules).
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+The modules required for turning incoming RSS/ATOM feeds into nodes, consist of:
 
     * leech.module
     * leech_news.module
-    * leech_news_yahoo_terms.module (not required)
     * node_template.module

+The PHP CURL module must also be installed on your server's version of PHP. This modules contains library functions used by the leech module. Without them, some features will not work. If you are not sure if CURL is installed on your server, following the INSTALL directions below will help you determine this. For more information about CURL, see http://us2.php.net/curl/. For help installing CURL, consult your web host, operating system documentation, or your favorite search engine.
+
+An optional leech_news_yahoo_terms.module is available. See the REMARKS section for details.
 
 INSTALL
     * Enable all the required modules mentioned above.
+    * Check the admin/settings/leech page to make sure you no warning message about the CURL library not being installed. If you see no message, CURL is installed on your server and you are good to go.
     * First create the template for your feed items. Go to node/add/story and add a story with a title like "template story" as the title and add some placeholder text (like "template node") in the body. make sure you set the publishing options to not published.  Then, once you submit that node, stay on the node, and you will see there is a new tab that appears next to the view and edit tabs which says "template". Click on template, and then scroll down and save the template.  You do not need to enter anything in the textareas.
     * Go to admin/settings/content-types/page and enable the page content type for leech under "Default leech news options" by selecting the story template that you just made and select the other options in "Default leech news options" fieldset to your liking.
