tt_news suddenly gets a lot easier once you understand this point!  
Creating a page with type sysfolder and then setting all the pages with  
news to point to this sysfolder as the general record storage page is all  
you need to do...

Oh, and don't hide your storage page either! This is the mistake I made,  
and caused the category mode selector to not work... Once I figured that  
one out I was away! It took a while for me to figure that one out so I  
thought I better share here to save you the hunt.
