[ This is a plea for help, not a challanging problem so feel free to skip it ]

I vaguely remember using the sendmail package some time ago (just for
the fun of it) and thought that it asked me all sorts of questions to
config itself  ...
I am now trying to set up a new host which has X.25 (but no ethernet,
so no multi-host needed) so grabbed the lastest version (2.1) from ukc.
It has a tiny README which points vaguely to Docs/* (which looks quite
big, and none of them is called "installation guide").
I was delighted to see Examples/ but on closer inspection, it only had
a complex configuration.
Also, when I tried using one exatly ASIS (or tinkering slightly) it
complained that it was trying to "mkdir" the argument I gave it (which
it appears previously to have checked as being a file!).

SO: could some kind soul who has a single host on JANET please send me
(I am not on the list) an example configuration, and the command I should type. Ta.

[ e.g. I tried:

Fergie:~/sendmail $ ./Config Examples/config.gateway

creating tables/gateway.mk ...
Making directory Examples/config.gateway ... mkdir:
Examples/config.gateway: File exists
mkdir failed, aborted
Fergie:~/sendmail $
