How do you install programs? Mozilla, Yahoo, etc?

Hi NewAgeLink,

I'm using 2005LE myself, and it is not buggy at all, in fact it has bever caused trouble yet.

The intent of Mandrake / Mandriva has always been to make as much work with a graphical interface as possible. Much of the stuff you must use consoles on other Linux'es will work on Mandriva via a graphical interface. Of course you can still use a console too, but many folks (me too) prefere using a GUI, and this is where Mandriva shines.

A friend wanted to use the Yahoo messanger to talk to his family on the other side of the globe. I tried various applications, but GAIM worked best with the Yahoo Messenger, although it did not allocate the webcam. I understand the next release (is it released yet?) will work with webcams.

regards, Helmut

Then I went back to my primary session and couldn't figure out how to start it. (I checked both boxes to make menu items in both GNOME and KDE; it's not on the menu.)

 

from commandline do a

 

menudrake

 

and then save and exit. those things should be in your menu.
