To access soulseek network using linux, you can use Nicotine-plus or Museek. [quote=bazhef] i dont have a clue what to do with all of the different .tar files that you have to install. I was at it for nearly 3 hours last night downloading this and that and then extracting the files from each but nothing happened.

I see you have a Fedora Core 8, to install linux into it you can either use the graphical software installation utility named "yast", or use the command line one named "yum". In your case, to install Museek for example, go to the terminal and type "su -" to be in root mode, then "yum install museek" For more info: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Installing_Software http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Yum http://www.fedorafaq.org/

try typing "musetup" at the terminal, this will bring the configuration window.
