If you find one, tell me ;)

However, the yahoo thing works just
fine in slack, I've got it running.

Cheers,

The easiest way I found to install the Yahoo client on Slackware was to convert it from rpm to tar.gz source by using the rpm2targz command...

But I would highly recommend GAIM, which is an all in one type messenger program which can handle Yahoo, AIM, MSN and many others..

But like Tinkster, I don't know of any that support voice or video yet..

I agree with all of the above .......im working on a nice messanger now ........if anyone wants to help just e-mail me......
but right now the best choices are kopete for kde3 or gaim....like trickykid said........other than that the options are limited.

I use Ayttm (formerly Everybuddy). It connects to AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and a few others. Search Sourceforge for "ayttm" or run apt to get it. It rules..

Lets see the two stupidist things that I think should be given to linux but the big corpurations won't give us! Shockwave Player & Yahoo with Voice! Why can't they understand that we want these things but without wasting our time with Windows.

For voice and WebCam support for yahoo messenger you can try gyach :
1. Download http://www.politicalcrossfire.com/te...nstall.tar.bz2 , and save it to your home directory (important!).

2. Run these commands in the terminal, in sequential order:
Code:

tar -xjf gyach-install.tar.bz2
cd gyach
sudo ./install
