To install the new IM protcols you have to open the AppManager, go to the menu, add a new catalogue. Erase the http:// and write in there "matrix". Then press CANCEL! You will be asked if you want to choose the RED PILL or the BLUE PILL. Choose the red one.

Then go to installable apps, choose the rtcomm package and install it.

Voila, there it is.

Is this still necessary to add the other protocols? I have the latest version of OS2008, (just as of tonight) and when I go to add an account, the only protocols it offers are GTalk, SIP and Jabber. I would like to be able to add yahoo and msn IM accounts as well. Does the current OS provide away to do this without going through the Red Pill process, or is that still required.
