Thanks a lot Joe BUT: I have the program running but can only get AOL to work. I have only two options AOL/ICQ and TOC (whatever that is) as proocols available,.
I was unable to follow your instructions on setting up the urpmi deal. But I now know how to make the amsn program run - which gives me MSN use - although I have been unable to execute the program like I think you are supposed to - nor can I put an icon on the desktop for it - I do have an icon for gaim. ralph > I use a program called gaim to chat with people on MSN, it comes with > MDK9.1 but i found it easier to install a newer version that had the msn > plug-in installed (rather than mess around with the version that comes > with mandrake 9.1). > > make sure you have urpmi set up properly with texstar as a source, this > page can help with that: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php > > then (as root) type into a console: urpmi gaim > > then (using the updated version of gaim you will find under > networking/instant messaging in the kde menu) it is pretty fool proof to > set up an account and chat with people on MSN (click on accounts, select > add, choose msn as protocol, put in a user name and password, and viola!) > > To get the icon on the desktop in KDE click 'n drag gaim from instant > messaginge menu to the desktop.
