installing skype

[Christoph Georgi]

the "easiest way" of installing skype would be to download the *.deb
from skype's website, open a terminal, and install the package with

'$ sudo dpkg -i skype_<version>_i386.deb'

everything should work fine; if not, please post the output on the
command line.

Once the whole package is expanded I double click on the install shield and a box opens up with the chances of either opening up the terminal or to execute directly. The comand line informs me where the libraries will be installed. Everything executes in a flash but never skype on site.  What the heck am I doing.  Well, I'm a newby but not a quiter.
