jboy Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Here's a useful guide: Installing and Configuring Software Games will be one of the groups under install software when using the rpmdrake utility that's described in the guide.

congdonb Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Lukasz, In addition to the info jboy provided: 1. Check your menu under "More Applications" for installed "Documentation" and check out the Mandriva Linux Starter Guide. There is a chapter in there on Package Management which should put you on your way. 2. See http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/review2006.html which reviews Mandriva 2006 install process but has a section on "Background: Linux software repositories and software installation" 3. Also see http://www.linuxloader.com/ which may help. Cheers, Bill Congdon Edited November 8, 2005 by congdonb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 If your kids are after Windows games, checkout www.transgaming.com for Cedega and Point2Play (which makes installing easy). As for installing native Linux games - some have their own installers that must be downloaded and the rest are installed like any other application in Linux - urpmi being the best means in Mandriva.
