Ok... im gonna try PENGAol.... I dont understand it really...

How do I mount it? cant i just burn the peng files ( theyre all .linux extensions not windows files ) then insert it in my linux OS and then install PENG??

Can someone explain?

voidmain:
Most of us probably can't explain because most of us don't use AOL. Did it come with any directions? Could you post a link to where you got it?

XxD:
i dunno, its directions are.... well... hard to understand

voidmain:
What version of Mandrake are you using? It actually looks like it must work. Did you see this:

http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2314

I downloaded and extracted the archive mentioned in the above article and the "How-to-install-En" instructions look pretty straight forward. It actually looks pretty simple, but I'm not energetic enough to hook up a modem and find a local AOL number to test it (don't have an account anyhow). Maybe another Mandrake user here can try it out and help you if you need help with the instructions...

Download this file:
http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pengaol/pengaol-0.96-1.i586.rpm onto windows.

Then reboot into linux. create a directory -

$ mkdir /mnt/win2k

Then mount your win2k (or any other windows) partion on it.

$ mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k

Let me explain -- hda1 means device on IDE channel 0 (the first one), master device (hence the "a"), partion 1. If you have windows on your main HD on the first partion, type the above it. If it's on the, lets say, third partion, type in:

$ mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/win2k

When you do that, type in "su", press enter, and it will ask you for your root password type it in, press enter.

Then do

$ cd /mnt/win2k

and you'll see all of your files in Windows. go to the directory you saved the .rpm file to using the "cd directory-name-goes-here" command (if you need to go to a diretory with spaces in it's name, use quotes).

When you finally get there, type in:

$ rpm -ivh pengaol-0.96-1.i586.rpm

There! You're done! You probably run it by typing in "pengaol" in the command prompt.

P.S
Sorry for any mistakes. I have a heacache, I want to sleep, and I ran into troubles with my webhost (now resolved).
