I use Gaim regularly on my main Linux PC at home, and wouldn't mind having it "to hand" on my DSL pen drive. Unfortunately, at around 20Mb, the Gaim .dsl is just a bit too "fat" for the drive, so I've been using amsn as a "stopgap".
Over the weekend, I read in an old copy of Linux Format about ayttm, which is apparently a graphical multi-protocol IM client like Gaim, but uses GTK1 and is much "leaner" (i.e. smaller in size and system requirements). I haven't tried it out, but ayttm sounds like it would suit DSL - it got a very positive review in LF, and they thought it might suit older machines, which sounds like a good few of the "native" apps in DSL
Has anyone tried ayttm, and if suitable, how easy would it be to make it into a .dsl extension?
Thanks, Tim
