    How do I download the 2.0 Beta?  I try to download it and all I get is a list of the files in the release.  I am hoping to get something that works with MSN/Windows Messenger.

    Thanks.

      Go to http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php and you will see a list of the files.

      That's 1.5.0.0 I realize. I got my 2b5 by downloading PortableApps. That's a freeware software suite that's meant to be run on a USB-stick. You can choose whether you want to download just the menu and add items later, or you can download the suite. That contains Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, ClamWin Antivirus and Sudoku Portable.

      There are other applications ready for download. Just google PortableApps, and you will find it. Why I recommend this? You can take with you all your most important work wherever you go, and always use what you know. Combine it with Opera@USB (My web-reader of choice) and you have practically everything you will ever need in your pocket.

      If this is not to your liking, I am sorry. I don't know where to get the 2b5 without going about it this way.

      I think my last post was eaten, so I'll try again.

      Here's where you can find the latest version (2.0.0.0 beta 6):
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=479631

      What you'll see is a list of the different install/setup packages you can download for Windows and Linux/Unix.  For example, if you're running Windows (if you are running Windows, which version?), you'd probably want to click on  "gaim-2.0.0beta6.exe".

        Seems like just what you asked for, without all that I said. Go for it.
