I'm assuming from this you Skype up and running on Mandrake?  Is it 10.1,
and was it difficult to set up?  I used it briefly in windows to
communicate with a friend and thought it was great.
   

Hi,
it's in your installation CDs. You can also download Skype:

Yes I would recommend the download as I'm sure it's the latest version.
Then go to konsole and type su to become root and type roots password.
The type urpmi /pathto/getskype-linux-mdk.rpm
You may have to play with the sound mixer settings for your mic.

Frobnicate, v.:
To manipulate or adjust, to tweak.  Derived from FROBNITZ. Usually
abbreviated to FROB.  Thus one has the saying "to frob a frob." See TWEAK
and TWIDDLE.  Usage: FROB, TWIDDLE, and TWEAK sometimes connote points along
a continuum.  FROB connotes aimless manipulation; TWIDDLE connotes gross
manipulation, often a coarse search for a proper setting; TWEAK connotes
fine-tuning.  If someone is turning a knob on an oscilloscope, then if he's
carefully adjusting it he is probably tweaking it; if he is just turning it
but looking at the screen he is probably twiddling it; but if he's just
doing it because turning a knob is fun, he's frobbing it.

Subject: [newbie] Willing to help bring someone up to speed on Mandrake via
Skype

 

Hello all.
I'd like to take this chance to offer to bring a new user up to speed on
Mandrake.
I don't consider myself an expert but would like to give a little back
to a community where I've learned so much about linux.
So, If someone needs some help learning how to get around Mandrake Linux
via Skype (voip application) I'm looking to help sometime tomorrow
afternoon EST. (not exactly sure when)
I'll turn on skype an await a call as mentioned above.
Skype name: djash34
Till then take care
