GAIM on FC2

[Gary Allen Vollink]

I find gaim under "Gnome foot">Internet>IM.  If you are trying to
install a more recent version of GAIM (it was updated a few days ago),
then you need to use the upgrade flag for rpm...

# rpm --upgrade gaim-0.81-1.FC2.rpm

To find out what version of gaim you already have installed, you can
query for it...

# rpm --query gaim

If you don't use GNOME,   AND you can't find an ICON for it... the
executable should be installed under /usr/bin/gaim.  So you could run
gaim from a terminal window, or from a "Run" menu item (depending on
your choice of desktop manager).

Good luck,
Gary Allen Vollink
