Never done that before - some more info - how - were - when - etc.
Thanks
You need a chat client - xchat or ksirc or somesuch. Then go to
freenode and join #mandriva.
When the chat client opens you'll see a list of servers - choose
freenode from the list. Not sure now how ksirc works. Then type
#mandriva in the channel option - top bar in xchat, choose server,
and type in the box you get when you click on it (from the drop down
menu). Hope this makes sense :-)
Not yet - will be looking into this.
Thanks for responding.
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, xchat and ksirc are the method to
use the IRC. I think ksirc is installed by default with KDE. If not
just do "urpmi ksirc" in konsole as root. There is an xchat RPM
download for LE/10.2 here - (and a link for 10.1)

Thanks
Glad to be able to to be the one helping for a change :-)
