Things are installed.  Currently the packages are not installable as they dont 
exist except in design only.  The tools however are created and installed and 
you should be able to run the samples to get an idea of what GNUe can do.

The samples have .sql files you can load.

> How do I install the packages?

The packages do not yet exist you can see samples in gnue/forms/samples/

> How do I access the packages?

See above.

> What should go in the configure file?

The gnue.conf you can leave alone, the connections.conf needs to be edited to 
point to a valid database and use a driver that is installed on your system.

On redhat i believe db2html, db2ps, db2rtf etc work.  I think if you get the 
doctools from debian these are available as well though Im not certain.

Nope,  I think you are looking for a finished system and that doesnt exist.  
Currently we have excellent tools, but no end user packages.  It appears you 
installed the tools no problem.  I encourage you to look at the samples and 
play with designer as well.
