Intsalling aim on slackware
im trying to install aim on slackware, but im not having any luck
i have little linux experience, and installing programs is baffeling me, anyone care to clarify i looked all over the aim website for answers and its only confusing me more aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp#install can anyone tell me what this means? |
