Hola Todos :)

A point of mine has tried to install husky using the uri listed in
http://husky.sourceforge.net/debian
She put the sources for Debian Sarge testing in her sources.list and in
Synaptic installed:

hpt
libfidoconf1
fidoconf-runtime
bsopack
huskybase
libsmapi2

Did not find either msged nor golded available for installation.

She managed to find the scrip fidoInst and executed it.
She executed tparser and reported no problems.
She found  /etc/fido/config and more or less understood the options there.

But she asks me:
Now what do I do?
How do I call your system?
How do I write and read messages?

And she goes on:

¿What is husky?  What does it do?
Does it call or poll my uplink? No, it uses binkd which it is not a dependancy.
Does it toss? No, it uses hpt to do it and this is not a dependancy.
Does it allow me to read and write messages?  No, it uses msged for that
but this is not included in the dependancies.
Then, what does husky do?

...

Has left me a bit baffled. I though the main dependencies were covered in
the debian packages for a point.

I'm trying to answer her as best as I can but do not want to pass my
confusion to her.

I understand that people are either busy or tired, maybe even a littl
burnt. Just trying to figure out were help is needed and if I can help.

Felipe :)
