User Feedback :: Yahoo Messenger works under DSL 0.7

Good work! I just tried it and lo and behold it works...

Now, using your techique, I'll try to apply it to other IM's. If I can use it for GAIM or even AMSN then this little distro is overcoming one heck of a hurdle.

I mean this started as a simple live-cd, and it's slowly evolving into a small distro that's winning the hearts of many...

Okay, can some of you existing Ymessenger users tell me if the .dsl you can find at

http://arthur.ph.man.ac.uk/~pc/dsl.html

works (ymess.dsl)

The new ID won't but I think the rest might be okay............

The way it is runing on my 10 years old P200MMX, it has won my heart!

I tried AMSN, but no luck. Some of the packages are unstable. After I tried, something broke in my setup, I don't have icons anymore. Now I am trying something else: backing up to a ZIP100, so I can keep the packages I downloaded. With that, I will be less hesitant to try stuff, knowing that I can re-install DSL more easily (so far my first problem is to format the damn zip disk).

I would be interested in GAIM too!

Has anyone tried SIM?

Hi nucpc,
I have used your Yahoo! .dsl file with 0.7.1 (booted from CD, ymess.dsl on hdc1) successfully "chatting" with a Yahoo! user [running the "Miranda" Win32 client on an XP box] :-)

Also success chatting with another user running the official Win32 client on a Win98SE box :-)

I already had an existing ID.

BTW:- I have not attempted a file transfer between these clients, as yet.
