Hello,

I recently bought the acer aspire one laptop with linux lite. I hate the messenger that is already installed and want to download aMSN. Ive tried downloading it from several links and each time the file installs into my download folder. I then click "Open with install patch" and a pop-up comes up asking me if i want to install the install patch i click ok and the same message keeps appearing - "The patch file does not available". Can anyone help me install this program!? It seems to be the only msn out there that is compatible for linux and at the same time is ocmpatible with the built in webcam.

Configuration: Linux Fedora
Firefox 2.0.0.14

You can install Amsn directly from your terminal

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-re­lease-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/...
then type

sudo yum install fedora-release

then type
sudo yum install amsn

If you right click on the desktop and look under multimedia, aMSN should be there. You can also add an icon manually.
