the problem with gaim not connecting to yahoo was fixed in the next version after that edition that was included with knoppix 3.2. gaim patches (more like *hacks* :-) ) into different networks without cooperation of yahoo, aol, and msn, thus they have to do runarounds to be able to connect to those networks.

short answer: get the current version of gaim to connect to yahoo.

my questions: who knows where there is a deb of the newest version?

is it easy to make a deb from a tarball (*.tar.gz)?

gaim is at http://gaim.sourceforge.net

' apt-get update; apt-get install gaim/unstable ' == This will upgrade even if you have or don't have gaim installed.
