Re: Skype?

["Nino on NetBSD 5.0.1" <nbsdold%gmx.net@localhost>]

I am sorry that I mention this topic here again, but...

... just for the information of anyone who might be curious - it didn't work at 
all for me with the link I provided before.

It was complaining about libraries, which I hunted down from a Linux system, 
and at the end, in a reckless attempt, I damaged my NetBSD installation.

I guess it was also partly due to the fact that this was NOT an oss version, 
but needed alsa and all kinds of libs.

Kind regards,

Nino
