Shawn:
I'm wading through getting INND going also. (I'm using spare time, so the
going is slow.) Naturally, read the man pages for innd and all the other
man pages listed there. And format and read the Install.ms document:
nroff -ms /usr/doc/inn-1.4unoff4-2/Install.ms | col > Install.text
If you actually want to print it out, replace the 'col' with 'col -b'.
It's about 50 pages, so you'll definitely want to 'nenscript -2r' it
or similar before spooling.
Finally, the first five sections (at least) of the INND FAQ (which should
be on your machine already) are extremely helpful.
You probably need to read all of these; I'd start with the the Install
docs. The man pages (especially for newsfeeds) can be a little opaque
taken on an empty stomach.
Good Luck
Kyle
