Gaim
 

Hey i got my network up and everything i want to download gaim for my mandrake linux 10.1 and i got it downloaded how would i get it running? thanks

which do you mean; just running it from a terminal?
$ gaim &
or from your gui-thingy?
[start menu -> run program]: "gaim"
or compiling it?
$ ./configure && make && make install
