Hey all i have a question to ask but i guess first thing is first, I am using mandrake 9.2 and Kde desktop, I removed gaim and upon doing that my instant messeging spot is gone to, So if i try to install gaim again, Is there a way to make the instant messaging spot in my start menu again? Sorry but i am a total thanx for any help
Click on the start menu - goto 'configuration - Packaging - Install Software'
type in your root password when requested and the mandrake installer will appear. Now type gaim into the search box and select the necessary packages. There will be lots to choose from but start at least with the basic gaim package and let it pick any dependencies (if there are any)
Simply choose install and the rest should be done for you!
when i try connecting to yahoo thru gaim, it starts to connect then gives me the following "chat name has been disconnected...unable to read" thats all it says.
