Seem nothing happens but if you does click on desktop using the mouse rightbutton,  under "MyDSL" in the desktop menu appears "Skype". You must do click on Skype to launch the program.

Good Drakkor, I'm glad.
I have doing frequent international Skype calls without audio breakups. I have tested many VOIP applications but the better performance is ever using Skype.
I guess that audio breakups may be due to the processing speed of the computer.
My problem using Skype on DSL is a strong humming noise superposed on audio output still using two different sound chipsets (VIA 8233 and Opti 82C931).
Then I switch to ALSA driver and the audio work fine with VIA 8233 chipset. But unfortunately I have not been able to install ALSA with the Opti 82c931 chipset on another computer.

Well I don't know about the processor speed it's P4 2.0 Ghz, using a broadband connection. I will try some calls today to see if it stil breaks up, not really a breakup, just sort of crackling sound,lol. Good luck with your chipset,
and Thank You, so much for your help !!     :D
