There's also a package called amsn that is supposed to be closer to MSN in UI and functionality. I've never used it, but my son preferred it over gaim. It seemed to me to be responsible for a number of system hangs under Mdk 2005LE, though, and possibly under 10.1 as well (haven't set yp 2006 yet). -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
