MSN changed the protocol recently. aMSN works, but you need the lastest version 0.83 I think. Give it a go!

Just download the mandrake rpm of the latest version (0.71 I think) and use alien to convert it to a deb file. It then installs with KPackage without any trouble...for me anyways. :)

apt-get -t unstable install gaim

apt-get -t unstable install kopete

apt-get -t unstable install amsn


If unstable doesn't exist try testing instead.

They're commands...paste them into the konsole window...it'll install them. The debian package for AYTTM has finally been updated now too...that's what i'm using right now. You should read a little about apt-get...it's something you're probably gonna want to use alot. It's not hard to get the hang of though. :)

Those are commands for installing/updating 3 different program that should handle the latest msn protocol change. gami you're probably familiar with. Kopete is another multi-protocol chat program. Amsn is an msn clone.

Apt-get is not too hard to use, though I had some trouble with it at first.

First run:

apt-get update

Then run one or more of the commands I listed.
