Thanks for the help Brian and Colin, as you can see I`ve still got a lot
of learning to do about Linux in general but I really want to get on
fidonet. I`ve been given a point but I never realised that the software
would be so difficult.
Here`s the latest problems;

Here`s the last bit of output from the above command:
+ /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
+ inndcf
+ '[' '!' -f /usr/sbin/innd ']'
+ 'Please install innd!'
/usr/sbin/fidogateconfig: Please install innd!: command not found
+ return
+ rm -f /tmp/1323.tmp

This was a debian package. I tried to make a directory called
/usr/sbin/innd and link it to /usr/lib/news/bin/innd with the
command:
ln -s /usr/lib/news/bin/innd /user/sbin/innd
In return for which I get:
ln: cannot create symbolic link `/user/sbin/innd' to `/usr/lib/news/bi
n/innd': No such file or directory
This is without doubt the most difficult software I`ve encountered on
Debian to date.
