Re: Getting rid of that Skype completely and forever with a video chat solution under *my* control, any suggestion? (was: Re: Faking it with skype)

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

So, I checked out the following;

The only things you need in ~/home/user/.Skype are the subfolder  
named as the skype-username and the "config.xml".

To make it easy for your dad, you can create these files on your computer and 
send him both (login into skype with your dad's passwort and username will 
create config.xml and the folder) 

I guess, you have installed the linux for him or someone in his near. 

He has just to put both files into the .Skype folder and change owner to him. A 
script, executed as root, can do this easily. 

Then he only needs to start skype and is getting connected. However, he MUST 
NOT disconnect, just kill the app. I hope, I do not expect too much, that he 
will take this to the heart.

Hope this helps.
