By the way Civileme,
of course the computer has one floppy too.
But that wasn't why I was writing again.
Where did your gaim install?
My is in
/usr/bin/gaim
/usr/lib/gaim
and of course the normal doc and share locations.
Also there is one thing that is driving me nuts and
that is the DOSEMU...it will not run my vga games!
Wouldn't have any hints on that one would you?
I posted this under a separate item a day or two ago
in newbie with no one able to help, so today I posted
it in expert list.
Got it all set up so it will run but it won't play any
apogee games like Paganitzu or Duke Nukem 2 ...
I haven't tried Duke Nukem 3D since I can't get
these others to run. I am figuring that there must
be some memory thing or video card thing that I need
to tweak but I haven't hit on it yet.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
