Re: AOL for Debian
What is with all the cryptic help for such a simple request?
If you visit the Reference off of Aim: http://www.aim.com
redirects to: http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp?aolp=
>From the Debian 3+
link:http://channels.netscape.com/wrap/linker.jsp?floc=at_oslin_1_l3&ref=http://ftp.newaol.com/aimgen/380469/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb
Drop the JSP reroute session id.
http://ftp.newaol.com/aimgen/380469/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb (This is
what you want).
Assumption: Downloading to home folder:
/home/yourHomeAccountName$ wget
http://ftp.newaol.com/aimgen/380469/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb (packageLink)
$sudo dpkg -i aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb (packageName)[If you get issues on
sudo make sure you are added correctly to sudoers in /etc/sudoers]
Dependencies via dpkg will flag which additional packages you will need
to install, if any.
So let's review:
Step 1: $ wget <packageLink>
Step 2: $ sudo dpkg -i <packageName>
Step 3: browse debian menu for Networking and select AIM to launch it.
Enjoy your AIM experience.
