Thanks for the offers of help. I Though I had better come back and let
people know I resolved it and I will explain how. Firstly appologies
for the delay but with a 8 week old baby you kinda forget things.

If you own a MIPSEL processor Linkstation (Firmware above v2.0 I
believe) and have the same problems installing slimserver to resolve
the issue I needed to do the following,

Went thorugh Marc Field's guide
(http://www.fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html) when you have
unpacked slimserver and try to run it you will get module failure
errors.

1.Goto the linkstation wiki site find the mipsel slimserver modules.
These are the missing modules for the MIPSEL processor:
(http://linkstationwiki.org/Projects/MIPSelSlimServerModules)
(http://linkstationwiki.org/downloads/mipsel-hdhlan/)

2. Download and install them onto the linstation on one of the visible
shares

3. Download another telnet application other than the windows one
(Apparently the windows telnet performs double clicks), I used
PenguiNet.

4. Telnet onto the linkstation using the new telnet app

5. Move the files to the root of the linkstation from the share (mv
command)

6. Unpack the files (tar xzvf file command)

7. Run the install (./install.sh). The installation should prompt you
to run and then to remove the installation files (if you only get a
single prompt and the install doesn't work, your telnet app is doing
the double return thingy)

and you should be able to go back and run slimserver now.

Since I am a unix novice I though this would help others.
