1. Follow step one of this site: http://messenger.msn.com/download/getstarted.aspx "Use any e-mail address to sign up for a .NET Passport" You can use an existing email address for your .NET Passport login (aka MSN Messenger login) Once you've jumped through all the hoops of getting a new account: 2. configure a MSN gaim/pidgin (CTRL+A). You'll only need the .NET Passport login and password to configure it and that's it. -- dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
