amsn (beginner)
I heard of amsn as a clone for messenger...I downloaded from:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl
Is it the right package for my pentium 4 laptop? (First question)
How do I install it? (Second question)
Yes, I am a newbie....

Have you tried GAIM which is in Knoppix? Another would be kopete. I've never used amsn, but debian packages install with:
Code:
dselect update
apt-get -s install amsn
(remove the -s for simulation if output looks ok)
This would have downloaded and installed the package in one go.
As you already have the package you can do in the directory it's in:
Code:
dpkg -i packagename
-
I am using gaim...but conflicts with my soundcard I guess....
Thats why I wanted to try amsn...Thanks Markus...I will try it and be back to you.

I'd suggest you try Kopete before trying ot install something else. Personally I've been pretty impressed with Kopete (if there was a Windows version, I'd use it!).
Kopete should be in the menu, or you can just type "kopete &" in a console.

I cant find Kopete in Knoppix 34...can this be possible?
I tried looking around menus but could not find it.
In command line how can I check if kopete is in this distro?
Thanks.

To be honest I haven't even booted up 3.4 yet
To find out if it's installed: COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l|grep kopete
or: apt-cache policy kopete
or as c123 said: kopete &
To find it with apt first do: dselect update and then: apt-cache search kopete
To see info about it: apt-cache show kopete
To see if it would install without problems: apt-get -s install kopete
To install: apt-get install kopete

I got it working!
I never interacted through terminal, but with your advice was very easy....
I just had to install some dependencies.
Really you helped me a lot in this one....
Thanks!

You're welcome.
IMHO Linux's power does lie in the console, and a LOT of tasks are faster to do by writing a few commands. That said you could install synaptic if you prefer a gui for managing packages. Again I'm not sure if it's included in 3.4.

what does apt-get update do?
Because I am trying to install the flashplugin for mozilla....and didnt find some files....adviced me to run apt-get update....and now is doing something I dont know....
