>>once apt is installed you can type:

>>apt-get update to get a current list of the available rpms
>>then
>>apt-get install gaim to install the latest gaim and all dependencies.

Grateful thanks to you and all respondents for the valuable advice. And 
sorry for not making it clear that I am running Mandrake 9.2, its just 
that I find RH rpms tend to work with Mandrake (eg the yahoo messenger 
one). Can I use the up2date service as a Mandrake user? And how does 
this service relate to synaptic, which I have successfully installed 
with the dependent apt and libapt?
