Post by Scrufdog »

Is there a way to get GAIM loaded into XCFE, or a way to run it from a command line?

Gaim comes pre-installed with Home, there should be an option for it in the XFCE taskbar at the bottom, but if not, you should be able to open a terminal, type

Code: Select all

gaim
And Gaim should load up.

i havent messed with Linux in a long time. I forgot it was that easy.

Is either xirc or lirc preinstalled as well? Cant check at the moment, the machine is in the middle of the long ass magic update thing.

thanks

I don't think so, but all you have to do is

Code: Select all

emerge lirc
And it should install it for you.
