You can just download the static version from skype.org and unpack it in any directory. Then install ia32-libs. Then just run skype from that directory. Have been doing that for years. When the new version comes, I just download it again and unpack it in the same directory. No need to force architecture or anything like that. -- "Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)." - Ayn Rand -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
