You mean, like a slackware package?. I've never found one. Here:

http://users.aber.ac.uk/jaa2/projects/kazaa/

is a fine tutorial about getting gift to run under Linux. There you can also download some rpm's. Slackware can handle rpm's if you use --nodeps to do not check dependencies. The wisest way to install an rpm in slackware though is by converting the package into a slackware native one.

Two tools that can do such a thing are "rpm2tgz" and "alien". I've never used rpm2tgz, but Alien converts pretty much everything to everything, like .deb(debian) to .tgz(slackware). Take a look into those

There's always www.limewire.com though. It's a nice p2p like kazaa, written in Java (which makes it quite slow), but good enough. I get faster downloads with limewire then kazaa. If you want to give limewire a shot, check out this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...171#post921171

to get both Limewire and JRE (Java Runtime environment) up and running.

Catch ya later my friend!

Good luck!
