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

Stu.....

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.

umm i dont understand is that the proggy i need to get or are they command's .

**champagnemojo** · 11-13-2003, 07:13 AM

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.
