Hi Jeanette, Mandrake uses KDE 1.1. If the kicq rpm will install without needing the library the I would do just that, otherwise you'll need to install the library as well. ttfn nick@nexnix At 06:30 12/04/99 -0500, you wrote: There seems to be two RPMS for KICQ one is for KDE 1.1 and one for KDE 1.0 which does Mandrake 5.3 use?

Hi Russ, In your Mandrake cd is an icq program called licq, it's pretty good. But there are some other programs too. If you are used to Mirabilis' icq program then try kicq, it's almost identical. For more information go to: www.portup.com/~gyandl/icq , there you'll find links to other icq clones.

Are you referring to the program that allows people to know when another gets on line then chat together? I use this program allot in 98 and am really going to miss it when I make the final jump. I wrote to Miribalis (spelling) and they informed me that no Linux version is planned. If this is the program you are using, may I ask how you are using it under Linux? Thanks Russ

I'll try that. I had Windows on the first drive, but I can easily make that drive the second drive.

Or you could get VMware (http://www.vmware.com) and run ICQ under Windows and have Linux running on your computer simultaneously! -- Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] second CD drive
I have looked through the HOW-TOs and various docs but can't seem to find a clear answer to the question of mounting two CD drives at same time? It must be possible, for CD burning, if for no other reason. What I would like to do is have the CD Player in KDE play a CD in my slave drive while the master was mounted for data access. Master drive is HP8100 CD-R and the slave is a Toshiba 24x. I apologize in advance if this is a really dumb question with an obvious answer, Thanks, Ray
