I downloaded the correct update from the FTP site as stated in the package manager in linux the one with -linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz , extracted to a folder, navigated to the folder in console and ran ./ns-install. It goes fine, updates Navigator to 4.7 but there's no still no Messenger. How do I add (find) Messenger? I gotta have a decent modern newsreader, I'm just no good with this terminal stuff.

Could you dumb that down a little please? I opened /etc/apt/sources.list and
discovered this:
*********************************************************************

# your mirror contains.
# deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free

Originally the last 3 lines had # (I assume those are comments) I took all 3
off but Corel Update would not load, so I replaced the last one. I'm in the
dark here, what am I trying to do? I just know how to install stuff Windows
style. Is Corel Update even any use here?
