Hiya Dave, Where do I get pre built binaries for Mandrake 10?? I wanted to check up on the Gimp.org but it's been down for the last 3 days. I run Mozilla here on Windows XP and Mandrake 10 and both sides are not letting me in. Also tried out IE and Konquorer, same thing. Sites down so I can't check up on anything and no one is giving me any feed back on the status of the site so far! :-( Wrote Sven and asked and wrote the WinGIMP Yahoo group and asked, nada!!! :-(
So if you know where I can obtain a prebuilt binary and if you know what all I will have to install along with it then please link me up. Many thanks Richard ;-)~ "Dave Neary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : : Hi Richard, : : Richard McCormick wrote: : > Out of curiosity I downloaded ALL the needed files. 14 in all, 45Mb's : > total. : : Ouch...
